sweet potato fries



The other day at work, the lady sitting next to me at lunch said she couldn't finish her fries, and offered them to me, and then I actually believed in world peace.  I don't know how you feel about sharing food, but I have zero qualms.  In fact, sometimes the food even tastes better because is wasn't going to be mine, but then the stars aligned.  And ever since that day, I have been on a fries kick.  So this is my attempt to satisfy that same craving with something a bit healthier.

Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients:
1-2 sweet potatoes
salt
pepper
olive oil
other seasoning (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450.  Peel and cut sweet potatoes, about 1/2 inch thick.  Cover with a thin layer of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, tossing them around.  Spread them on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 15 minutes.  Remove, turn each piece over, and put in the oven for another 10 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

I've had those before! They are delicious. When I found out sweet potatoes are actually very very good for you, I started asking my Mom to swap out a baked potato with a sweet potatoe for me whenever we are having family dinners. And I'm the only one who likes them! I'm glad I like them though because it makes me feel good too knowing i like it annnnd its good for me.
