    These sweet potato fries are lightly sweet, crisp and delicious.

    Maple and Cinnamon Sweet Potato Fries - Lauren Kelly NutritionI really like sweet potatoes and I don't like regular potatoes.  Once again, I am NOT in the majority.  In fact, I only like sweet potato fries and don't really love baked or mashed sweet potatoes.  I know, I know… I am seriously picky.  But, like I said, I do love sweet potato fries!  And these are lightly sweet which is a great way to get those picky eaters to eat them.  They are packed with Vitamins A C  and D, fiber, magnesium and iron and have a much lower impact on blood sugar levels than white potatoes.  They have a naturally sweet taste which I enhanced with 100% maple syrup and cinnamon. What's not to love?

    Author: Lauren Kelly

    Ingredients

    • 5-6 medium sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into ¼ inch long slices, then ¼ inch wide strips
    • 3 tablespoons 100% maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon sea or kosher salt more if desired

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
    • Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl or ziploc bag. If using a bowl, mix thoroughly. If using a ziploc, close the bag and shake well.
    • Lay the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer to make sure they cook evenly.
    • I had enough sweet potato fries for 3 baking trays so I placed a wire cooling tray on top of the baking sheet (I saw it on the Food Network) and it worked great for even cooking.
    • If you don't use that method, make sure to turn over sweet potato fries after 15 minutes so they don't burn.
    • You can sprinkle with a bit of extra sea or kosher salt if you'd like.
    • Cook for a total of 25 minutes. I like the edges crispy (and a little burnt) so you can cook them less if you don't like that. Enjoy!

    These pictures aren't great because my oven light was super bright but you get the idea of how I cooked these.  The fries on the bottom I had to turn over after 15 minutes.

    Maple and Cinnamon Sweet Potato Fries - Lauren Kelly NutritionMy family and I will be eating these all summer.  I like them a little burnt of the edges but of course my kids don't so I make two batches and take one out a little early.

      My daughter is a huge fan of sweet potato fries, and she gobbled these right up. I love that they aren't fried, but still delicious!

      These are the BEST! I can't believe how much we loved the flavor of your sweet potato fries. Absolutely delicious. And thanks for the idea to cook on top of a wire rack. That's a terrific tip to have in my back pocket. They turned out perfecly cooked and with the best texture!
