SPICY SWEET POTATO OVEN FRIES

Spicy sweet potato oven fries image

Fry lovers rejoice! These sweet and spicy fries are a fantastic duo. Ground chipotle chile pepper adds the mild heat. If you want less spice use regular chile powder. Want to turn up the heat? Switch the chipotle with cayenne. These fries are very versatile so play with the spice combinations you like. Soaking the fries before they are baked helps them crisp better in the oven so don't skip the step. Serve these with alongside a grilled filet for steak night or seared salmon filet and some roasted vegetables for a full plate. These fries also make a great and filling snack for movie nights at home. Mix some fat-free Greek yogurt and prepared horseradish for a great cool-yet-spicy dipper.
