Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 large (about 1 1/2 pounds) sweet potatoes

Directions

1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: In a small bowl, combine cumin, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel potatoes, cut each in half lengthwise, and cut each half into 6 wedges. In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, oil, and spice mixture. Toss until potatoes are evenly coated.

2. Bake the fries: On a baking sheet, arrange potatoes in a single layer and place on the middle shelf of the oven. Bake until edges are crisp and potatoes are cooked through — about 30 minutes.

3. Serve immediately.
