Recipe: sweet potato fries – Voice Online

A TASTY pick me up, these sweet potato fries are rich in flavour and spiced with goodness. Enjoy them as a starter or side dish, and accompany with the dips from my previous post.  

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
• Olive oil
• Maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• Salt
• Pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 7.
2. Once you have chopped the sweet potato, give it a rinse and pat down with paper towels, when dry put into a bowl.
3. Season the fries with the cayenne, paprika and season with salt and pepper; mix thoroughly with your hands.
4. Transfer the fries onto a baking tray, spacing them out evenly.
5. Drizzle on a little olive oil and maple syrup. Just as a little side note, the more drizzle the more likely the fries will soften, so if you fancy a crispier crunch apply sparingly.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes (rotate occasionally) or until crispy.

Best served hot
