Sizzling Cinnamon Thyme Sweet Potato Fries

Yum

For Cinco de Mayo I brought you a wonderful recipe for Grilled Cuban Flank Steak, and as a side dish we had Sizzling Cinnamon Thyme Sweet Potato Fries.

I completely forgot to post the recipe for the Sizzling Cinnamon Thyme Sweet Potato Fries so I'm sharing that here with you today!

These are a wonderful variation on sweet potato fries that combines both sweet (cinnamon) and savory (thyme) seasonings sprinkled over the cut sweet potatoes and baked to perfection.

What a great side dish!  Baking sweet potato fries is a healthier substitute to French fries and they taste fantastic!  Crispy edges on the outside and tender on the inside, these fries are taken up a notch with the cinnamon and thyme, so don't be surprised if you start eating them with abandon!

These are the perfect side dish, or a tasty snack.  Serve them all summer long with your grilled recipes.  30 minutes to the BADDEST sweet potato fries you've ever had!

Enjoy!






Sizzling Cinnamon Thyme Sweet Potato Fries

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled

3 tablespoons of olive

2 Tbls fresh thyme, chopped 

1 tsp of ground cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and spray a large baking sheet with non stick spray

Slice your sweet potatoes into planks and then into sticks.  Then add them to a bowl.  Add the olive oil and the seasonings and toss well to coat.  

Add the potatoes to your baking sheets and spread them out so they don't overlap. 

Bake for 15-20 minutes tossing them 1 or 2 times until they are golden brown.  Remove from the oven and allow to sit 2 minutes, then serve hot.
