As my poor husband can tell you, I don't allow too many sweets in our house. Each weekend we alternate between a "healthy" treat and a "not so healthy treat". Sweet potato fries have become a great "healthy" treat for a Friday or Saturday night. They're easy, inexpensive, and insanely delicious.
4 Sweet Potatoes (I usually use yams)
Olive or Canola Oil spray
Italian Seasoning (or whatever seasoning you prefer)
Salt and Pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 425. Cut the sweet potatoes into fries. Place in a large, microwave safe bowl and pour 1/4 of water into the bowl. Microwave the fries for 5 minutes. (The reason for this is it starts to soften the fries--substantially reducing the time in the oven)
Place fries onto a greased cookie sheet and spray the top with either canola or olive oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and seasoning over the top. Bake for about 25 minutes. Dip in fry sauce or ketchup. Enjoy!
