Sweet Heat Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes Large. Cut into ¼ inch thick fries
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
- Salt to taste
Honey Cinnamon Glaze
- ½ tbsp Honey
- dash Cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by cutting sweet potatoes into ¼inch thick fries. I left the skin on for this recipe.
- Once cut, place in cold water and let the fries soak for at least 45 minutes.
- When fries are done soaking, remove from the water and pat completely dry with a paper towel.
- Add avocado oil and cornstarch and mix thoroughly.
- Add in the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne and cinnamon and stir to coat the potatoes. Do not add the salt at this time.
- Spread fries out on a baking sheet so they are not touching each other. You will likely need 2 baking sheets.
- Place in the oven and bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes.
- Add a dash of salt and serve hot.
Honey cinnamon glaze
- For the glaze combine the honey and a dash of cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle over the fries just before serving.
Notes
Notes:
- Do not drizzle the honey over the fries too soon. Do this just before eating or else the fries will get soggy.
- Soaking the fries in necessary to get fries that have a little crisp to them
- If your fries are not crispy after 20-25 minutes in the oven, you may need to broil for 1-2 minutes. If you do broil, be sure to keep a close eye on the fries so they do not burn.
