Baked Savory Sweet Potato Fries Recipe
Everyone loves fries. When the family first went gluten-free we were very upset to learn the number of restaurant french fries that contained gluten. The restaurants that didn’t offer coated fries definitely became our “best friends”. But then we learned more about possible cross-contamination with gluten products used in the same fryers. And there was the realization that the oils used to fry the potatoes were re-used so often that they were very unhealthy and pro-inflammatory. Sweet potatoes have a higher nutritional value than white potatoes and needless to say, not deep frying them, but rather baking them, increases their health value as well. When you need a great snack and are craving fries, enjoy these very healthy versions – Baked sweet potatoes fries.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of organic sweet potatoes regular or purple variety
- 3 Tbs of organic avocado oil or coconut oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt

- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Dash of cayenne
Instructions
- Preheat over to 425 degrees.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into wedges, about the size and shape of steak fries.
- Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl. Use a whisk or fork to fully combine.
- Pour the mixture over the cut fries and mix with your hands to get all the fries fully coated.
- Place the fries on a baking sheet, not touching each other and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the fries over and bake for another 15 minutes.
