So simple and delicious, these sweet potato fries are a great way to enjoy one of nature's most nutritious foods. Since these are done in a hot oven, they don't need lots of oil to "fry." These sweet potato fries are great with burgers, steaks and almost anything else you would serve with regular fries.
I like mine spicy, so I put in a good shake of cayenne, but you can easily tailor this recipe to your own level of heat. As with regular French fries, salt is important to bring out the flavors, but you can always adjust that after they're cooked.
