Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

These oven baked sweet potato fries are simple, healthy and delicious.  We make them in my house all the time.  They are so good that I forget that they are actually healthy.

Yes, sweet potatoes are one of the powerhouse veggies.  They pack tons of great nutrition, plus they taste really good.

It only takes a little bit of oil to give them that crispy outside texture.  I use about a teaspoon of olive oil per serving.

Olive oil is also really good for you.  If you are team Weight Watchers like me, you can check off one of your healthy oils for the day.

Lazy Girl Tips

I prefer to leave the skin on my sweet potatoes.  It is just easier, plus I like eating the skins.  Feel free to peel yours if you choose.

I prefer to use parchment paper to line my baking sheet.  I find this works much better than cooking spray at preventing the fries from sticking to the pan.  Plus, it makes for super easy clean-up.

Tip: I buy my parchment paper in gargantuan sized rolls from Costco.  It is WAY cheaper there than it is at my grocery store.  You could try a silicon baking liner, or just use cooking spray if you don’t have any parchment paper on hand.

Alrighty then, let’s get to the recipe!
