Nutritious and Mouthwatering Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

From the kitchen of Dr. Randall Hansen

Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite sources of fiber and nutrients, such as beta carotene, vitamin C, manganese, and potassium.

And these baked sweet potato fries make an excellent side dish – and a bit more playful than just a baked potato.

It takes about 10 minutes of prep time, up to 20 minutes for baking.

Makes 2 servings.

Ingredients

• 1 large organic sweet potato

• 2-3 tablespoons of arrowroot powder (such as Jiva Organics Organic Arrowroot Powder)

• Avocado oil

• Salt to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 415 degrees.

2. Prepare a baking sheet by coating lightly with avocado oil.

3. Carefully slice baked potato twice – to cut into small fry “wedges.” Hint: These potatoes are tough to cut, so we use a small meat/cheese slicer to slice the whole potato, then cutting each slice into “wedges.”

4. Place potato wedges in bowl. Add a light coat of avocado oil and mix thoroughly.

5. Add arrowroot powder and mix again.

6. Season with salt.

7. Cook 10 minutes on bottom rack.

8. Move sheet to upper rack and cook about 9 minutes, checking not to burn the fries.

9. Transfer to a serving plate.

Optional: You can also throw in some of your favorite spices, perhaps some hot pepper for more spicy fries.
