Seasoned sweet potato fries

Do you want to get more sweet potatoes into your diet?

Sweet potatoes are a delicious and nutritious Superfood.  They are high in vitamin B6, they are a good source of Vitamin C and magnesium, and they also contain Vitamin D, Iron, and Potassium. Packed with nutrients, I have been trying to incorporate more sweet potatoes into our diets, but it has not been easy since they are not a favorite food in my family.

I was so excited when I discovered this recipe originally intended for russet potatoes.  My family loved it with regular potatoes, so I decided to try it with sweet potatoes as well, and it was a hit!!  I usually prepare this using a combination of sweet potatoes and russet potatoes.  I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Russet Potatoes (or 2 Russets and 1 Sweet Potato), quartered
  • 4 Tablespoons (1/4 cup) olive oil
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions:

  1. Quarter potatoes. Place into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Coat potatoes evenly with olive oil and parmesan cheese.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix together salt, Italian seasoning, Garlic powder, and paprika
  4. Cover potatoes evenly with spice mixture.
  5. Lay potatoes in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake at 400° for 40 minutes.
