There's nothing like Baked Sweet Fries to compliment a veggie burger or vegan hot dog in our house.
It's a great combination using yams, sweet potatoes and regular potatoes with just enough spice to make them interesting.
We like them so much, we'll even make a main dish out of them, served with a salad.
Baked Sweet Fries (Serves 3-4)
- 3 medium yams sliced into fries or small cubes
- 3 medium sweet potatoes sliced into fries or small cubes
- 3 medium potatoes sliced into fries or small cubes
- Juice of 1/2 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon Sumac (Optional to give salty taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400º F.
Add lemon juice to a bowl large enough to hold the potatoes and add the spices. Mix thoroughly. It will be a stiff paste.
Add potatoes and mix until all are well coated with spices.
Pour potatoes into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure the tray is not overcrowded, that potatoes are just one layer high.
Bake 40 minutes at 400º F. You can bake them longer if you like them crisper.
Air Fryer method: Air fry at 380º F. for 25 minutes. Longer if you want them crisper.
