Sweet Potato Fries!

Now, we can't eat high carb all the time, but we can enjoy a carbo-loaded snack every once in a while, and one of my favorite indulgences is fries!

Here is a great version of the comfort food we all love, but without the "fried" part. Yum!

Ingredients:
Sweet potato, or yam (depending upon preference and availability, and yes, there is a difference!)
2-3 tbsp EVOO [extra virgin olive oil]

1-2 tsp dried rosemary
1-2 tsp dried thyme
sea salt to taste (I use a sea salt & garlic blend)
black pepper to taste

Directions:
Cut sweet potatoes into slices. In a large bowl, add EVOO, rosemary, and thyme. Add sweet potatoes to mix in bowl, and coat fries with mix.

Place fries in one layer on cookie sheet, add salt and pepper to taste, and bake in oven for about 20 minutes at 425 degrees (depending upon thickness of fries).

The fries, just before they go into the oven!

All done! These are delicious with home made paleo ketchup. 

Cook's notes:

• Cutting the sweet potatoes can prove difficult if you are using thick potatoes, so I recommend buying thinner/skinnier/longer potatoes for this recipe, rather than the thick/longer potatoes.
• I cover my cookie sheet with aluminum foil, which makes clean up really quick!
• After baking for 20 minutes, I broil for a few minutes to get ends crispy.
• I will add more seasoning/spices after potatoes are on cookie sheet if they seem a little sparse on seasoning. I have a rosemary & garlic blend I like to use.
