CINNAMON PAPRIKA SWEET POTATO FRIES

Cinnamon Paprika Sweet Potato Fries are the easiest healthy side dish or snack to make, and so damn tasty! Tossed in a few simple pantry spices, salt and pepper and roasted to perfection. Vegan and gluten free.

Tips?

• don’t go too overboard on the oil, measure out 2 tablespoons so you don’t end up with super greasy, soggy fries

• take the time to coat the sweet potato evenly in the oil and spices in a big bowl, before putting on the tray

• spread them out over a large tray (or two trays) so there’s a little space between the fries so they cook evenly

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Total Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 4 servings, approximately

Ingredients

• 750 grams sweet potato this is about two large sweet potatoes, or three medium ones

• 2 tbsp coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil

• 2 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• salt and pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 180 Celsius and line a large baking tray with baking paper (or use a good non-stick tray!).

• Wash the sweet potatoes (don’t peel them) and pat dry. Slice thinly into fries; I aim to cut them between 1 to 1.5cm thick (they shrink a little on cooking).

• Place sliced sweet potato in a large bowl. Add in the coconut oil, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Toss to combine so the sweet potato is thoroughly coated with the spices.

• Spread the fries out on the baking tray. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until cooked/browned to your liking.

Notes *If you like your fries SPICY then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes to these as well before you bake them!
