Sweet Potato Fries


3 large sweet potatoes

3 tbsps olive oil

2 tsps dried thyme

2 tsps dried rosemary

1 tsp salt


Wash the sweet potatoes very well with a scrubber. Slice them up into vaguely fry-shaped pieces. Remember, the thinner they are the faster they cook.


Toss the pieces on olive oil, and lay them out on cookie sheets on some parchment paper (or silicone mat, or nothing if you like scrubbing cookie sheets). Sprinkle the herbs evenly across them.


Preheat the over to about 425, and place the cookie sheets in. Let them cook for about 15 minutes, until their undersides are nice and browned, flip, repeat.


Sprinkle the salt over when they come out of the oven.



Wow these were great! Soft (the 'fry' part comes from the shape- they aren't crunchy, but they can be finger food) and sweet, salty and savory. They got rave reviews at the dinner table, and I can't wait to make them again!
