Sweet Potato Fries
Description:
A tasty and healthy alternative to French Fries! Using coconut oil adds a tropical flavor to this side dish that goes great with grilled pork tenderloin.
Ingredients:
2 Sweet Potatoes, medium sized
2 tsp. Olive or Coconut Oil
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Scrub sweet potatoes well. You can also peel the potatoes if you want to, but leaving the skin on adds fiber. Cut into ¼” thick strips.
In a large mixing bowl, mix potatoes with oil, tossing to coat well.
