Fat-Free Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

These sweet potato fries are excellent! I was first introduced to sweet potatoes fries at a restaurant in Chicago called 'The Counter Burger' & immediately fell in love. Unfortunately the sweet potato fries were breaded and deep-fried, which is not something that my ass appreciated. These fries taste just as great as any restaurant quality french fries and have an added kick! I recommend serving them with a horseradish ketchup or a ranch-based dipping sauce. Enjoy!



Ingredients


Serves 5

4 medium, peeled sweet potatoes
2 TBSP Soy Milk
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Paprika (smoked if you have it)
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp Seasoned Salt
1 tsp Onion Powder
About a TBSP of Cornmeal (for sprinkling to help the fries not stick)

Go ahead and preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Start by slicing the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick wedges. Place the wedges into a large mixing bowl and pour the soy milk on top. Use your hands to coat the wedges with the soy milk.

In a smaller bowl, mix together the cayenne, paprika, chili powder, seasoned salt, and onion powder. Sprinkle the mixture over the potatoes with one hand, while using the other to rotate the potatoes and spread around the mixture. Make sure all the potatoes are nicely coated.

You are going to use just a basic cookie sheet to bake the potatoes. Spray the cookie sheet with non-fat cooking spray and then sprinkle with corn meal or rice flour. Place the wedges onto the cookie sheet-make sure to have the wedges lying flat on the cookie sheet. Cook the potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the outside is a crispy brown and the inside is soft. Obviously all ovens are different so adjust accordingly. Make sure to let the fries cool for 5 minutes before you dig in.
