Sweet Potato Oven Fries from The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook by Tosca Reno

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 45 min

Eat-Clean Cooking spray (olive oil in a spritzer)

Enough sprigs fresh rosemary to cover a baking sheet (dried worked just fine)

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1lb), scrubbed and blotted dry

1. Preheat oven to 400*.

2. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread rosemary sprigs on sheet in a single layer, making sure entire surface is covered. Mix together all other ingredients, except sweet potatoes, in small bowl.

3. Square off potatoes (I had no idea what this meant) and slice into "steak fries." Lay strips of potato on rosemary in a single layer. Sprinkle generously with seasoning mixture. Spray generously with cooking spray. Bake 20 minutes.

4. Spray again. Return to oven for about 25 minutes more or until fries are golden and puffed. (I reserved some of the spices, flipped the fries at this point, and sprinkled the other sides before baking again.)
