One of my kids favorite sides and mine too, sweet potato fries!  My son went through a phase of refusing to eat any vegetables, when I say phase I actually mean a year and a half of his 3 1/2 year life. He would literally gag if a veggie so much as dared pass through his lips.  I soon discovered that fries though were completely acceptable.  So I started making everything into fries.  Sweet potatoes, squash, beets, egggplant…if it was sliceable it became a fry.  I love these sweet potato fries with just ketchup but they are awesome with other toppings for example taco meat, cheese and guacamole.  Use your imagination, and please share!

The preparation well, easy peasy as my daughter says, just check me out making them while wearing a baby…

Just scrub your sweet potatoes, then slice into planks and then into strips.  I try to slice them very thin, between an eighth and a sixteenth inch.  Toss them with a bit of olive oil salt and pepper.  Spread them onto a parchment lined sheet pan and pop into a 450 degree oven.  Roast until dark golden, about 45 minutes to an hour.

Put them alongside a nice juicy burger or just chow them down with some ketchup.  However you enjoy them, cheers!!
