Sweet potatoes are truly delicious, my favorite to ways to enjoy them are grilled and as fries. This is my recipe for sweet potato fries (actually baked) and one I could enjoy everyday!
Sweet Potato Fries

- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, diced
- 6-8 sprigs of fresh parsley, finely chopped
Directions:
Heat the oven to 400.
Cut the sweet potatoes into sticks 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long, and toss them with the oil.
Mix the spices, salt and pepper in a small bowl, and toss them with the sweet potatoes. Spread them out on 2 rimmed baking sheets.
Bake until brown and crisp on the bottom, about 15 minutes, then flip and cook until the other side is crisp, about 10 minutes. With about 5 minutes left on cooking time, sprinkle with garlic and place back in oven. Serve hot and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
