Did you know that sweet potatoes are more closely related to morning glories than white potatoes? During the low carb/no carb diet craze sweet potatoes got a bad wrap.  Lots of people turn away from all potatoes in general,  but truthfully sweet potatoes pack a lot of nutrition in a convenient orange package.  They are a complex carbohydrate, high in fiber, antioxidants, vitamin A and potassium.   Not only that, they are so delicious!

Of all the ways to make sweet potatoes one of my favorites is also one of the easiest – sweet potato fries.  The ingredients are simple just sweet potatoes, olive oil and salt.  You  just peel the potatoes (or you can leave the skins on if you prefer) cut into strips, toss with olive oil and salt, place on a baking sheet and bake.  Voila!  Super tasty sweet potato oven fries!

I usually stop after the olive oil and salt but you could get creative and add other seasonings as well.  Some other seasonings that I like on sweet potato fries are cinnamon and nutmeg or dried adobo seasoning or even Lawrey’s Seasoning salt.  Give them a try and let me know what your favorite seasoning combo is on these delicious sweet potato oven fries.
