Baked Sweet Potato Fries
2 servings
30 minutes
Baked sweet potato fries are a flavorful and healthy dish from American cuisine, becoming a popular alternative to classic French fries. Sweet potatoes, with their natural sweetness and rich flavor, turn into crispy slices with a golden crust through baking. The use of clarified butter and aromatic spices adds depth to the dish, while freshly ground black pepper and sea salt provide zest. This treat is perfect as a standalone snack or as a side dish to meat and vegetable meals. The ease of preparation makes it an excellent choice for everyday dinners and friendly gatherings, while baking instead of frying helps retain the health benefits of sweet potatoes and makes the dish healthier.
