Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries

This is one of my favorite recipes from First Place 4 Health's Summer Bible Study titled "Healthy Summer Living". It is a Six-Week Summertime Bible Study. Last summer (09) this bible study was the beginning of my journey to health. I also accommodated this bible study with a twice-weekly Body and Soul Workout, both held at Cathedral of Praise. Yeah!



OKAY ready......grab the following:

1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil (I used olive)
2 large (about 1 1/2-lb.) sweet potatoes

In a small bowl, combine cumin, salt and red pepper. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel (I don't) sweet potatoes
Cut each in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into 6 wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, oil and spice mixture.
Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer
Place the sheet on the middle shelf of the oven.
Bake until the edges are crisp and the potatoes are cooked through (about 30 minutes). Poke with a fork helps.

Serves 4


Notes:
I don't peel the potatoes and I lay them skin down on the pan
Getting those wedges perfect is tricky but I have had some practice. Use a big sharp knife.
They are good and only 99 cal per serving and this recipe is for 4 servings!
