Spicy Sweet Potato Frites

Who doesn't love sweet potato fries? Salty and sweet - yum!

Here's one of my favorite recipes that's perfect for a festive fall dinner. And best of all, it's super easy.

My family loves them! Hope you do, too! ;)

Ingredients

  • Sweet potatoes
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp chopped shallots
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp smoked sea salt
  • 1 tsp coarse ground pepper
  • 1 tsp chives
  • 1 tsp ancho chili powder
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Directions

Preheat your oven to 425.

In a large bowl combine about 1 lb of sweet potatoes (cut into the French fry shapes of your choice)

Toss together olive oil, dry mustard, chopped shallots, curry powder, smoked sea salt, coarse ground pepper, chives, ancho chili powder, chipotle powder and smoked paprika.

Spread over a baking sheet and bake at 425 for about 35-49 minutes or until golden brown.

The sugariness of the sweet potatoes pairs great with all the deep and hot spices. I like to serve this with spicy ketchup!
