Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables. My children like them too, so they’re a low-stress addition to any meal in our house. Not only do they taste delicious, but they’re also a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.

These sweet potato fries are a delicious blend of savory and sweet with the addition of paprika. You could also use cumin or other spices to jazz things up a bit.

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and grease a baking sheet.

• Arrange the strips on a baking sheet, making sure the thickest pieces are on the outside and the thinnest pieces are on the inside.
• Bake for 7-10 minutes and then flip the fries. Continue baking for another 7-10 minutes, until they are light brown and beginning to get crispy.
  
• Cool slightly before serving.
