HEALTHY RECIPES: Sweet Potato Fries

Check these out, too...

We’ve got a vitamin-stacked alternative to fast-food fries! These tasty treats can be whipped up in no time and give burger night a healthy boost.

Ingredients:

2 sweet potatoes
A pinch of salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: Spices! These are great with 2 teaspoons of garlic, oregano or cumin. Like heat? Add a dash of cayenne pepper!

Preparation:

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. While it's heating up, wash and cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices. (Note: Start by cutting the ends off and chopping the potatoes in half. Be careful!).

Directions:

Put the cut potatoes in a bowl and add all the other ingredients. Toss and mix the ingredients in so that they are evenly distributed. Lay the now-seasoned potatoes out on a cookie sheet and pop them in the oven. Take them out and mix them around after 15 minutes. Bake for another 15 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

I had these once, but I didn't like them, but I think that's because they were made at school, and school food is never that great. My dad has made fries before out of regular potatoes, but I'll definatly have to ask him if he can make some from sweet potatoes!

I'm a very picky eater and i usually just end up have a bagel or sandwhich or cereal or canned soup for every meal cause i can't figure out what to eat that's healthy. I'm getting super bored of my diet and wanna try something new and healthy. I don't like most healthy foods, and i really want to start eating healthier so i need a meal that is easy and i can make often that has healthy but delicious ingredients that i will actually like eating. Any ideas of what i can make? More than one recipe would be good so i don't have the same meal all the time. thanx!

Make sure to blend it so all the ice gets crushed and mixed in.
