Ingredients

• 2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled
• 2-4 T. toasted sesame oil
• 2 t. ground cumin
• 2 t. chili powder
• 1 t. paprika
• 1 t. salt

Directions

1. Lightly oil (or spray with oil) two non-stick cookie sheets and set aside. Cut the peeled sweet potatoes into “french fries” or pieces 1/2-inch wide and 3-4-inches long. Transfer the cut sweet potato fries to the prepared cookie sheets, dividing them evenly between the two sheets, and spread them to a single layer.

2. For each cookie sheet: drizzle the sweet potatoes with 1-2 T. toasted sesame oil, then sprinkle with 1 t. ground cumin, 1 t. chili powder, 1/2 t. paprika, and 1/2 t. salt (or to taste).

3. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

4. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven, stir the sweet potatoes, and spread to a single layer again.

5. Switch the placement of the cookie sheets on the racks of the oven and bake the sweet potatoes an additional 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp. Transfer to a large platter for service.
