How to Make Baked Sweet Potato Fries

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Thoroughly wash and scrub 2 large sweet potatoes.
  3. Cut each sweet potato lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter into 2 wedges (approximately 1/2 inch thick).
  4. Lightly spray a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted margarine or butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
  7. Brush the mixture evenly over the sweet potato wedges, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the fries are tender and golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the fries.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
