Quick & Easy Garlic Sweet Potato Fries

If your kids are anything like mine, they love French fries! Everyone knows they’re not exactly healthy for you, but that shouldn't stop us from enjoying them. Good news! Sweet potatoes are a healthier alternative. Sure, you can buy them at the store, but why not save a little money and make some when it’s so easy? These took about 10 minutes to prep and 30-40 minutes to bake, depending on how much you like them done.

Start with two sweet potatoes, wash them well with a veggie brush and trim out any eyes, cut off the ends.


Chop them down the middle lengthwise and start slicing them into thin strips, about ½ inch on all sides.


After slicing is done, spread the fries on a lined cookie sheet. As you can see, I have a few too many here, but close enough! Sprinkle sea salt and granulated garlic or garlic powder over the fries and toss gently with your hands to evenly coat.


Bake at 425°F for 30-40 minutes. I switched to the broiler for the last 10 minutes to try and crisp them up a little more.

And done! They didn't crisp up as much as I would have liked, but they were ridiculously delicious! This was a little less than half of them; I couldn't get a picture before the kids got into them!
