If you like french fries then you will love these sweet potato fries. You can get all the crisp without the fluff. Their sweet taste adds a nice zing to the recipe too.
I have used many sweet potatoe frie recipes over the years but this latest one that I found in an issue of Oxygen Magazine is so fabulous that I had to share.
What you will need:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 egg whites
- 4 tsp olive oil- extra virgin and cold pressed.
- 1 tsp- 2tsp each of paprika and cumin
- 3 crushed garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Cut potatoes lengthwise to create half inch thick and half inch wide strips. Whisk egg whites in a large bowl. Add in oil, garlic and spices and then whisk them together. Add in potatoes to mix them until completely coated.
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray lined with baking sheets.
Place on lower third of oven for about 18 minutes and then move them to top 1/3 of the oven for another 18 minutes. The goal is to cook them until they are crisp with browned edges.
