Sweet Potato Fries

I have been enjoying Sweet Potatoes a lot lately!.....On my restricted diet I cannot have white potatoes, so these Sweet Potato fries are the next best thing!,,,,These are very easy to put together and the seasoning with brown sugar gives them the little kick they need!,,,Here is what I did...Enjoy!!

 

 

INGREDIENTS

 

2 Large Sweet Potatoes (sliced)

 

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon Lawry's seasoned salt

1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

 

olive oil

 

DIRECTIONS

 

In a small bowl mix all of the spices and brown sugar together and set aside

 

Cut sweet potato in half lengthwise, then lay on flat side and start making slices.......then cut those pieces into thin slices like pictured

 

Add cut fries into a bowl.....add enough olive oil to coat (not to much)...and then add bowl of seasoning and brown sugar and toss, mixing well.

Prepare a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper and arrange coated fries on it, being sure that they are in a single layer, you can sprinkle with more sea salt if you like

Bake for 15 minutes and then flip them over and bake for 12-15 more minutes (depending in thickness of your fries)

Lemon Loaf (Gluten Free)

Well I have been seeing a lot of the copycat recipes for Starbucks Lemon pound cake and it looks so good!!.....But I can't have any of the ingredients so I wanted to try a recipe that I could enjoy!....I am trying to cut sugar also and although there is only honey in the actual loaf the icing does have powdered sugar in it so you can omit if you like. This was really easy to put together also......here is what I did.....Enjoy!!
