Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

These are, hands-down, the best sweet potato fries I've made. They are perfectly seasoned with just the right amounts of spicy and sweet. Hope you love them as much as my husband and I do!


Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients:
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced and cut into long thin slices
olive oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp coarse salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1-2 tbsp rosemary, fresh or dried (amount depends on your preference for rosemary)
1/4 tsp cayenne

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place cut sweet potatoes on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with all dry ingredients and toss slightly to ensure coverage.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through. If you want your fries a little crispier place under broiler for about 1 minute or so after initial cooking, just make sure to watch closely so that your fries do not burn.
