Sweet potatoes: who would’ve thought they’d win me over? I’ve always been more of a salty French fry person, and I simply never grew up eating the sweet variety. But as the seasons change and markets overflow with these vibrant orange roots, I decided to give them a second chance. Turns out, sweet potatoes are not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious, packed with vitamins and beta-carotene. These healthy, versatile veggies deserve a spot in your kitchen, especially when you can turn them into savory fries with just a few ingredients.

When I found a two-pound bag of sweet potatoes for just 95 cents at the grocery store, I knew I had to try something different. Forget the marshmallows—this time, I was going savory! My family loves fries, so I decided to give sweet potato fries a shot.

While sweet potato fries aren’t a new concept, making them myself was a game-changer. With just two additional ingredients from my pantry, I whipped up a batch of fries that were not only simple to make but also absolutely delicious.

I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but the sweet potato fries turned out fantastic! If I could change one thing, it would be to bake them a little longer. The 25 minutes I initially chose resulted in a softer fry, though they were still delicious. The French Fry seasoning, with its mix of salt, onion powder, and paprika, perfectly balanced out the natural sweetness of the potatoes.

For best results, I recommend using an oil spray to lightly coat the fries—though drizzling works too, just be careful not to overdo it to avoid greasiness.

These sweet potato fries make a perfect side dish, especially when paired with a healthy turkey burger. Sweet potatoes, I’ve been won over. Welcome to my kitchen!
