The last few days I have felt nauseas and food just hasn't sounded desirable. I ran 4 miles then half-way through lifting tonight, I surrendered...only to prevent myself from puking all over my handsome boyfriend. ;) I don't know why I have felt so ill lately, but the ONLY thing that sounded good post workout...was a big batch of sweet potato fries! So I will let you all in on the recipe:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Coat baking sheet with non-stick spray
Slice sweet potatoes in desirable shape (OR however you can cut them without losing a finger)
Throw potatoes in a large plastic gladware or ziploc baggie
Add:
Chili Powder
Season All
Sea Salt
Cracked Black Pepper
and a smidge of olive oil-but not necessary
After they are cooked, Dip 'em into low-sugar catsup. I get Heinz, tastes just as awesome as the real deal.
Shake all of the ingredients together and lay them out on your baking sheet. Cook for about 20 minutes or until desired crispiness. Actually, I wouldn't quote me on that time because my oven- I am convinced, has demonic powers. Seriously, every time I open the stupid thing my smoke alarm screams.
Curious as to why sweet potatoes are so nutritious? They are loaded with Vitamin A & C. They have fiber, potassium, and B6. Need more convincing? They are an excellent carbohydrate source because they digest slower than white potatoes. Sweet potatoes will not spike your insulin levels like a white potato, therefore you will be fuller-longer AND your toosh will shrink. :)

We love sweet potato fries! And sweet potatoes in general (I like to make mashed sweet potatoes).
ReplyDeleteI've found though, that they don't ever get really crispy in the oven. I'll have to try your recipe with the chili powder.
And, uh, I keep hearing about this BOY, I need details, like um, his name?
Delicious!
