Sweet Potato Fries

I don’t have any great intro for you around these except they are delicious. I have been spending a lot of time lately researching plant based diets and it’s got me thinking about making choices. I am by no means a vegetarian but I do find myself wanting to incorporate a plant based diet more and more. These sweet potato fries are just 1 dish I incorporate into our meal planning to help reduce the amount of meat we eat in this house.

Serving Size: 2

Ingredients

• 2 Medium Sized Yams

• 1/2 Cup Water

• 2-3 Tbsp. Corn Starch

• 2 Tbsp. Vinegar

• 2 Tbsp. Salt

• 1-2 Tsp. Garlic Powder

• 1-2 Tsp. Pepper

• Olive Oil Spray

Directions

• Cut Yams into fry sized portions, about 1/2 inch wide and 3-4 inches long. Place all cut portions in a large pot of water with the vinegar and a tsp of salt and boil for 6 minutes.

• Pre-heat oven to 475F degrees. Combine the corn starch and 1/2 cup of water in a large bowl.

• Using tongs, grab the sweet potatoes and place in the corn starch/water bowl. Lightly cover the fries and then using the tongs lay them out on a metal rack on a baking sheet. Ensure the rack has been sprayed.

• Combine the salt, pepper & garlic powder together then sprinkle on both sides of each fry.

• Bake for 15 minutes, flip the fries and add additional seasoning if needed then return to the oven and back for 15 more minutes.

• Remove the fries from the oven and serve with our Garlic Aioli.
