Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Mmmmmmm..... Fries. Can we all just admit to loving them? Even if they are just not that great for us? I know I can. BUT, I have found a way to have my fries, and eat them too! Oven-baked sweet potatoes!

They are so simple and easy to make. All you need is some sweet potatoes (duh), extra virgin olive oil (preferably in a spray bottle like a Misto), and some black pepper and pink Himalayan salt. Thankfully, my in-laws had brought us a large bag of sweet potatoes the other day so we were able to make some! OK, without further wait... here's how you make them:

I used 2 large sweet potatoes, and gave them a scrub down. Then I sliced them in half and then into good size fries.

I sprayed my stoneware with the olive oil and placed the fries in an even layer on the pan. Then I sprinkled them with the salt and pepper (hadn't done that yet when I took the picture!)

The oven was heated to 425F and I cooked them for 10 min on one side and then flipped them and cooked them another 10-12 min on the other side. I set the oven to broil for about 2 min to give them a little crispiness!

Don't they look delicious??? They were an awesome side to our meal of Italian seasoned chicken breasts and steamed veggies!
