Baked Sweet Potato Fries

A friend made these sweet potato fries for me recently and they are fantastic!  The recipe actually comes out of The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries:

Prep Time: 5 Minutes     Cook Time: 30 Minutes

-Sweet potato makes these golden oven fries much healthier than the fried white potatoes we all grew up eating. If you want to add a spicy touch, use Hungarian hot paprika.

Ingredients: 

-2 Medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and dried

-1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

-1/4 teaspoon salt

-1/2 teaspoon paprika

Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Slice each sweet potato lengthwise into 8 pieces.  Toss with oil, salt, and paprika.  Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned on the bottom, about 15 minutes.  Turn slices and bake until bottom is browned and potatoes are tender, about ten minutes more.  Serve hot.
