Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries are a healthy, yet delicious alternative to your traditional fries that the whole family will love. A great way to get the kids to eat all colours of the rainbow at dinner.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes scrubbed and dried
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Wash 2 large sweet potatoes under cold running water, scrubbing well with a scrubber and get rid of any dirt (there’s no need to peel them).
  3. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthways, cut each half in half lengthways, then each piece in half again so you end up with 8 wedges.
  4. Add to a large mixing bowl, then sprinkle over a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper and ½ tsp of sweet paprika.
  5. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil, then toss everything together to coat.
  6. Spread out into a single layer in a large baking tray, then bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
  7. Leave to sit for a few minutes, then use a spatula to transfer them to a serving dish.
  8. Enjoy!
