These are like sweet potato fries, but bigger and better. They’re roasted with a just-right amount of olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 6
- 3 lb sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
- 1/3 cup Chopped Pecans
DIRECTIONS
1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Scrub the sweet potatoes and trim thickened ends, keeping on the peel. Cut into long extra-thick strips, about 48 total strips.
2
In a large bowl, stir together the oil, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Add the sweet potato strips and toss to fully coat.
3
Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on two unbleached parchment paper-lined large baking sheets. Roast until just browned, about 30 minutes, rotating plans halfway through roasting.
4
Flip over each sweet potato strip, lightly brush with the maple syrup, and sprinkle with the pecans. Roast until the sweet potato frites are richly browned, about 8 more minutes, and serve. Enjoy with a fork.
