Sweet Potato (UN)FRIES
INGREDIENTS
2 medium sweet potatoes
2 sec spray PAM Original Cooking Spray
1 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Prepare oven and pan: Set oven to 450°F. Place a wire rack atop a large baking sheet (preferred) or line a large baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil.
Prepare potatoes: Cut potatoes into 1/2" “steak fry” shape. Optional for crispier (un)fries: Place in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 30 min to reduce starch and help your (un)fries turn crispier. Remove (un)fries from water and pat dry with a kitchen or paper towel.
Coat with PAM: Place (un)fries into large mixing bowl. Lightly coat potatoes with 2-second spray of PAM Original. Gently mix to coat evenly.
Initial bake: Spread (un)fries onto prepared baking sheet (on rack or foil) in a single layer with space between pieces for even, crisp cooking. Place baking sheet in oven. Bake 10–15 min.
Prepare seasoning: In small bowl, mix onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Turn potatoes and season: Use a spatula to flip each piece for even cooking. Sprinkle seasoning evenly over potatoes.
Finish baking and serve: Return to oven and bake additional 10 min until browned and tender inside. Serve hot.
