Sweet Potato Baked Fries

Fries. I LOVE fries. Salty, crunchy but soft, and ketchup's soul mate. The only thing about fries though....they tend to be fried. Eek. Fried foods, as we all know, aren't exactly on the top of the food pyramid. Did you know though, that a little bit of olive oil and some seasoning, tossed in the oven for a bit, you get almost the same thing for a way healthier option?!

Sweet potato fries are my favorite, so i decided to chop a sweet potato up and test this out the other night. I was very very very happy with the results. I know not everyone loves sweet potato fries, but you can do the same thing with a regular potato and make your own homemade french fries!

What You'll Need:

           Recipe from SkinnyMs.

 1 Large sweet potato, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 egg white, beaten

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper/Cajun seasoning/curry powder

(which ever you like or have)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Combine dry ingredients in a gallon size zip lock bag. Whisk together in a large bowl oil and egg white. Add potatoes and spices to oil & egg mixture, toss lightly to coat.

Place potatoes on a non-stick cookie sheet, spread out so they are not touching, bake 30 minutes or until tender on the inside and crunch on the outside. Turn potatoes after 15 minutes of cooking time.


Enjoy You Skinny Minis!
