Two simple ways to eat your sweet potato


This is sort of a continuation from today's earlier tip. The best and surefire way to eat a sweet potato is to simply just bake it! But if that's not enough for you and you have time, then make them into fries! Everybody loves fries! Here's a simple sweet potato fries recipe:

Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup salt
  • 1/4 cup black pepper
  • 1/4 cup garlic powder
  • Olive Oil, for tossing
  • 5 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch long slices, then 1/4-wide inch strips
  • Oil
  • 1 tablespoon House Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Line a sheet tray with parchment. In a large bowl toss sweet potatoes with just enough oil to coat. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Spread sweet potatoes in single layer on prepared baking sheet, being sure not to overcrowd. Bake until sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Voila! Done. This recipe comes from The Food Network. Paprika is a known aid in boosting your metabolism, however, you can also substitute it with cayenne pepper which also has the same function.

Enjoy!
