I love me some sweet potatoes! They aren't that pretty but they are so real, so unpretentious, so delicious and you guessed it; I'm the only one in my house that eats them. A.J. was a good sport and tried. He said they were good, but no one scrapes them off their plate that fast into the garbage when they like something. What happened to the "Clean Plate Club"?
The homegirlz were off for the weekend so they were spared.
They were very good and very simple to prepare. I love the different flare they give to the overall meal. To me, it's like having dessert with dinner.
This recipe is for two servings. You can easily double it for four or triple it for six..
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoons of paprika and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Peel and cut one sweet potato into strips. Be careful because sweet potatoes do not cut as easily as russets.
Toss the potato strips into the olive oil mixture, to coat well, and spread in a single layer onto baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and brown sugar.
Bake for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.
YUM!

Hey Katherine, I love me some sweet potatoes too. Oven fries are the best. I kick mine up a little by adding a dab of honey, lime juice, and cayenne pepper to the cinnamon. Blessings, SusanD

I love sweet potato fries, but I can never get them to crisp up. Do yours?
I don't cook sweet potatoes often enough. And they are so yummy and good for us.
My favorite thing to eat! They are SO good!
Hi Katherine, I love sweet potato fries. Sometimes I just cut the peeled potatoes into rounds and roast them with cumin and salt and pepper. Yours look yummy.
I love these! My husband not being from the south does not understand my love affair with sweet potatoes.
I love sweet potato fries, but I eat them savory. I am going to have to try them with cinnamon, sounds yummy!!!
Sweet potato fries are my favorite! I just love their flavor! One of my favorite restaurants used to serve sweet potato fries in the shapes of tiny coins and would sprinkle them with brown sugar--incredible! These look totally delicious.
Katherine you are making me hungry thanks for sharing I love..........
They do look good! I think I need to try them again - maybe I'll like them now that I'm a bit older and wiser. hehe.
Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning!
I love sweet potatoes! These sound really good. You know, I saw these on a food tv show, these fries were coated in cinnamon and sugar and then had a marshmallow dipping sauce!
I LOVE sweet potato fries! I'd happily eat some with you! I love them done sweet, and I love them salty with garlic too. In fact, thank you for reminding me that I haven't made them in a while!
Mmmm. I love sweet potatoes but still have never made them into fries - I think it's time.
I luv me sum sweet tater fries too. Bring em on.
I'm going to try this! I LOVE sweet potatoes and cinnamon!
Yum, indeed! I am not the biggest fan of the sweet potato, but yours is my go-to method for plain old oven fries, as well:)
I love sweet potato fries. Even more so than regular fries.

Looks absolutely delicious!
I luvvvv sweet potatoe fries. There is a restaurant here in town that has these on the menu and their secret is to boil the fries a few minutes then coat them and roast in the oven. Yum!!!
These are so delicious! I haven't tried making these at home. Silly me. A.J. can scrape his off right onto my plate! Yum!
Oh how yummy! I've been wanting to try these for a while now!
How anyone could not love sweet potatoes is beyond my comprehension. My dearly beloved thought he didn't like them, until he tried mine, and now he adores them. Never tried SPFries, but maybe I will, soon!
Hey you, I'm not here at night very often I'm a morning person :) So wow! I'm the 33 person?? Do you always get so amny comments? That is awesome! You go girl!
I like my sweet potatoes anyway you can cook them. This is a favorite way too.
They look fantastic - and my family loves sweat potatoes. Being Italian - I am still trying to figure them out. What a great way to do it.
I LOVE sweet potato fries!! I am saying hi from SITS to another Tennessean. I live in middle TN though! :)

Whew! I have had this open on my computer to comment on since yesterday. Time just passed me right by.

OMG..Katherine, it is now my turn to give you a hug. I love sweet taters fries, I have never made them but I do look forward to buying them every fall season from Burgerville
I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes as a whole-like mashed ones-never liked. I tried sweet spud fries one night out with the girl friends and LOVED them. I have never made them from scratch as I found an organic sp french fry in my freezer section and they rock my world. Hmmm, I have some downstairs, I could fire up the small toaster oven right quick!
My wife is a sweet potato freak, so she will love these. I just wish I could get into them more. But I will give these a shot for her:) Ahhh the sacrifices we make for our loved ones, ha ha.
(btw, love my word verification: praddias....sounds like Prada and Addidas merged!)
One of my favourite side dishes...chipotle mayo with'em too!
