Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Tosca Reno's recipe for these is perfect (after a few tiny tweaks), so I have taken this straight from The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook to share with you.  Sweet potatoes are a delectable super-food with an array of different health benefits.  They are yummy plain, paired with any protein, baked into bars, made into fries, etc.  If you're sick of eating the same old baked potato, this recipe for you.  Don't delay!  Go try these!   Right now... ;)

Serves: 6
Calories: 66 per serving 
 
Ingredients:
Olive oil cooking spray
Fresh or dried rosemary (enough to lay or sprinkle over the bottom of the baking sheet)
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 medium sweet potatoes
 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.  Lay fresh rosemary or sprinkle dried rosemary over the bottom of the baking sheet.  Mix all other spices together in a small bowl.  Slice the potatoes into fries (I wash mine and leave the skin on!).  You might have to put your back into it ;)  Raw potatoes can be tough to cut!  

Place the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.  Sprinkle the potatoes generously with the spice mixture, making sure to coat the fries.  Spray with a layer of olive oil cooking spray.  Bake 20 minutes.

Pull them out of the oven, and spray once more with the olive oil spray.  Return to the oven for about 15 minutes more or until the fries are golden and puffed :)  

Dip these in a little bit of No Sugar Added Ketchup, your favorite dipping sauce, or enjoy these flavorful fries as they are!
