This is the second great recipe I adapted from Barefoot Contessa
Back to Basics by Ina Garten. And
yes, I did buy the book.
OVEN ROASTED SWEET POTATO FRIES
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp light brown sugar
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise and cut each half into 3 long spears.
- Place them on the prepared pan and toss with olive oil.
- Spread the potatoes in one layer.
- Scatter the salt, brown sugar, and pepper over the potatoes.
- Bake for 15 minutes and then turn with a spatula.
- Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Serve hot.
