Spiced Sweet Potato Fries
serves 2-4
The spice mix would be good over all types of potatoes, or even over popcorn. It gives a mild heat and flavor to the potatoes, but if you’re looking for really zippy fries, double the spices.Read more about this recipe at VeganYumYum.
2 to 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons Earth Balance, melted (vegan margarine)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
prep: 10 minutes
total: 40 minutes
small saucepan
baking sheet
parchment paper
tongs
spatula
1. Preheat oven to 450F.
2. Slice potatoes into thin fry shapes with a large chef’s knife. Mix melted Earth Balance and spices together and toss the potatoes in it. Place oiled/spiced fries on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper (they might stick to foil). Do not crowd the pan -- you want space between every fry. Bake for 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes.
3. Place potatoes under the broiler, turning every minute or so and keeping a close eye on them. Broil them for as long as you can without incinerating them. Serve immediately or you’ll lose any crispiness you achieved. Serve with ketchup or a creamy vegan mayo.
