Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium sweet potatoes, rinsed and dried
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

  • 2. Transfer the potatoes to a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer. Try not to overcrowd or have multiple layers of fries - you want them to be roasted, not steamed.

  • Remove once the edges slightly begin to brown and fries begin to crisp. Sprinkle course salt on top when they are hot out of the oven.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO OVEN FRIES



Roasted Sweet Potato Oven Fries image

I don't know what I like best about these sweet wedges - the way the sweet potato skins crisp and caramelize, the creamy texture of the sweet flesh, or the subtle flavors of the spices and infused oil.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, appetizer, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 inches lemon grass stalk, hard papery layers discarded, the rest coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped ginger
Salt to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, also sold as yams
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground

Steps:

  • Place the chopped lemon grass and ginger in a mortar and pestle and add a generous pinch of kosher salt. Pound and grind until you have obtained a coarse paste. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and work the ingredients together with the pestle. Scrape into a small saucepan and add the remaining olive oil. Stir together and bring to a very gentle sizzle over medium-low heat. Sizzle, shaking or swirling the pan often, for 2 minutes and turn off the heat. Allow the mixture to steep for 30 minutes. Strain into a large bowl, pressing the ginger and lemon grass against the strainer to extract all of the oil. You should have 3 tablespoons of oil. Add a little more olive oil if necessary.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and brush the parchment with olive oil. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. If they are very long, cut the halves in half crosswise as well. Cut each half into 4 long wedges - smaller sweet potatoes will yield 8 wedges, larger will yield 16.
  • Place the sweet potato wedges in the bowl with the oil. Add the ground cumin and coriander, and salt to taste, and toss together until the wedges are thoroughly coated with oil. Place on the baking sheet in a single layer (use 2 baking sheets if necessary). Place in the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes. Turn the wedges over and roast for another 10 minutes. Turn the wedges again and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the wedges and how fast they are caramelizing. The wedges should be tender when pierced and there should be some caramelized bits, especially at the thin tips. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before eating.

SWEET POTATO AND YUCA OVEN FRIES



Sweet Potato and Yuca Oven Fries image

These oven baked fries are very flavorful. Fresh yuca (cassava) is really hard to peel so this recipe calls for frozen yucca. If you can't find frozen yucca, just use more sweet potatoes. Recipe is from Ingrid Hoffmann.

Provided by LifeIsGood

Categories     Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

olive oil, divided (more if needed)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, divided
coarse sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 -2 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 4 inch long and 1/4-1/2 inch thick fries
8 ounces cassava (buy 8 oz frozen yuca)
sour cream, for dipping (optional)
sweet chili sauce, for dipping (optional)

Steps:

  • Set one oven rack to the upper-middle position and one to the lower-middle position. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.
  • Put the sweet potato fries in a large bowl and toss with 1 T of the olive oil, 1/4 t of the chile powder, 1/4 t of the coriander and some salt and pepper. Transfer the fries to a baking sheet and bake on the lower-middle rack until the sweet potato fries start to shrivel, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the yucca and cook until tender, about 25 minutes, and then drain. Once the yucca is cool enough to handle, cut it into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick fries.
  • Place the yuca fries in the large bowl and toss them with the remaining 1 T olive oil (add more if needed to coat them) and remainder of the chile powder, ground coriander and some more salt and pepper. Transfer the yuca to the second baking sheet. Move the sweet potatoes to the upper-middle rack and place the yuca on the lower-middle rack and bake for 10 minutes. Then turn both the sweet potatoes and yuca over and bake until golden crisp, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Serve accompanied by a bowl of sour cream and bowl of sweet chile sauce for dipping, if you like.

OVEN BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES



Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries image

Categories     Potato

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds sweet potatoes (yams) (3 large ones)
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1-2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat oven and roasting pan: Preheat oven to 450°F. (For more crispiness, preheat your oven to 500°F.) Place a roasting pan or heavy duty baking sheet (one that can take high heat) in the oven to preheat.
  • Peel and cut sweet potatoes into wedges: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut off the ends. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then, if they are very long, in half crosswise. Cut each piece into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick wedges. Alternately, you can slice the peeled sweet potato into disks either with a mandoline or a sharp knife.
  • Toss with oil, salt, spices: Put the sweet potatoes into a large bowl and add the oil. Mix well to combine. Sprinkle with salt and spices of your choice. Use your hands to mix well, so all pieces are coated with oil and spices.
  • Spread out onto preheated pan: Remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Carefully spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. (Watch out, the pan is hot!)
  • Bake: Bake for 15 to 25 minutes. After the first 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use tongs to turn over all of the sweet potato pieces. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 15 minutes, or until they are well browned. Cooking time depends on the temperature of the oven (500F will need less cooking time than 450F) and the size and thinness of the sweet potato wedges. The browner they are, the crispier they will be, but there is a fine line between browned and burnt beyond edibility. Even if they get really dark, they should still be good because of the natural sugars of the sweet potatoes caramelizing. So watch carefully. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

OVEN BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES



Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries image

Jennifer Hudson was recently a guest on Dr. Oz's show, and shared some of her favorite weight watchers recipes, and sweet potato fries was her very favorite.

Provided by Penny Hall @FantasyFaery54

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 8

- 1 large sweet potato for two people
- coarse sea salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, chunky
- good quality olive oil
- a peeler
- a sharp chef's knife
- cutting board
- large baking sheet

Steps:

  • Directions Preheat the oven to 450 ° F. Place the potato slices on a sprayed baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil. Cook for 30-40 minutes, turning once. Remove the foil after 20 minutes to allow the slices to brown. For more information, purchase The Engine 2 Diet.
  • Perfect Oven Sweet Potato Fries You will need: one large sweet potato sea salt (coarse) freshly ground black pepper, chunky good quality olive oil a peeler a sharp chef's knife a cutting board a large baking sheet
  • This recipe takes about a half hour to make, and one large sweet potato can serve 2-3 people if it's a side. Or sometimes I'll eat a whole one by myself if I've had nothing else to eat that day. Set the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. You can either peel the potato or leave the skin on - It adds nutrition and a nice chewy texture. Don't worry about washing it, normally, but you can rinse it in the sink as long as you promise you'll dry it off very, very well. If it's still wet the olive oil won't coat the fries as well, which will lead to soggy fries. And then you'll be disappointed with the fries. Cut the sweet potato in half because they're normally very large. Now, cut a thin slice from both ends. This will eliminate little pointy ends on your fries - they're bad because they tend to burn very quickly since they slice up thinner. (Burnt sugar = nasty) Now, take a half of the sweet potato and cut it into large slices about 3/4 inch thick. You'll then cut the larger slices into fries. Your fries should be 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. Repeat this for the other half! Just throw them all on there. Sprinkle a good pinch of sea salt over them, and then apply a ton of freshly ground black pepper. Chunkier gives them a nice bite. Drizzle with olive oil (Probably about 1/4 cup.) Now, mix it all together on the baking sheet. Make sure you're scooping the salt, pepper and oil from the bottom and mixing it in. Don't let the tastiness go to waste! At this point you can add more olive oil if you want - just don't drown them. They should look glossy, but they shouldn't be sitting in a pool of olive oil. Once everything's mixed, space out the fries on the baking sheet.
