Savory Sweet Potato Fries Recipes

OVEN ROASTED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Slice the sweet potatoes into long, thin strips, about 1/4-inch wide.
• Add the fries to a large bowl and cover with cold water, soak for at least 60 minutes or even overnight for best results.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. You can also use two medium baking sheets, it is important for the fries to have enough room.
• Drain well the fries, arrange them in one layer onto a clean towel and pat dry with paper towels. Clean the bowl in the meantime and dry it well.
• Add the fries back to the clean bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, toss until evenly coated.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, smoked paprika, and black pepper until combined. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the fries, then toss until evenly coated and the cornstarch has soaked into the oil.
• Spread the fries out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure that the fries aren't overlapping.
• Bake for 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven, and flip each fry with a spatula, making sure they are not overlapping. Bake for another 10-15 more minutes, or until the fries are crispy and have begun to brown a bit.
• Once done, transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack, sprinkle with your desired amount of sea salt, then let the fries rest for 5 minutes.
• Serve warm.

SAVORY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Wash the potatoes with cool water and pat dry. No need to peel them but you can pull of the little "stems".
• Cut the potatoes into fry-size pieces. If you don't have a fancy gadget for this, I suggest enlisting your husband to do this because sweet potatoes are hard to cut!
• Place all the fries in a gallon size Ziploc bag along with the oil. Seal the bag and toss to coat.
• Open the bag and add in the seasonings. Toss again until all the fries are evenly coated.
• Spread the fries out on two baking sheets. This gives them enough room to get crispy. If they're too crowded, they just get steamed and soggy.
• Bake the fries in the oven for 15 minutes and then turn the fries using a pair of tongs or a spatula. Bake for another 15 minutes.
• Fries should be slightly crisp. Some black on the edges is okay, since it's pretty tasty, just not too much!

GOAT CHEESE AND RED ONION SLIDERS WITH SAVORY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Pre-Heat the oven to 400 degrees for the fries, and the BBQ (or however you are planning on cooking the burgers).
• For the fries: place the sweet potato matchsticks on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. (you can cut the fries differently, they'll just cook longer) Drizzle the olive oil over the fries, and add all the spices. Pretty much, add the amount of spice your family will like. I usually shake each bottle a few times. Use your hands to mix everything up, and make sure the fries are evenly coated. End with an even layer spread out on the foil for even cooking. Cook in oven for 20 minutes, or until soft (sweet potatoes don't get crispy like regular fries. If you go longer than 20 minutes, keep an eye on them, as they will burn easily).
• For the burgers:.
• combine all burger ingredients into a medium size bowl, and mix well. Shape into small balls that will fit on each Hawaiian roll (12). Cook/BBQ to your preferred doneness.
• For the construction:.
• Slice each roll in half. Place a small amount of yellow mustard on the bottom half, layer the meat on next, followed by small slices of the red onion. Spread the goat cheese on the top half, and place on the burger.
• **of course, you can use any kind of cheese, mustard/condiments you want to make these. This is the combo my husband and I really like.
• Enjoy!
