BAKED Sweet Potato Fries

BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES

I have tried 3 different recipes for baked sweet potato fries and the last batch was finally crispy and delicious like I knew they could be. Husband wanted me to fry them but I refused! Sweet potatoes are so good for you, why fry them and ruin the nutritional value? I'm glad I persevered because these are awesome! I can't wait for you to try them!

WHAT YOU NEED:

One large sweet potato 

2 egg whites

3 tbsp of flour

Garlic Powder

Sea Salt

LOTS of olive oil cooking spray

Slice the potato into "fry" sizes. Place your fries into cold water for 10 minutes.

Dry them on paper towels making sure all extra moisture is blotted out.

I like to fold the paper towel on top of the fries

In the meantime add two egg whites to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.

Whisk until foamy

Place fries in bowl and stir. Make sure all fries are covered in egg whites.

Add flour one tbsp at a time and stir.

Add enough garlic powder to your liking. I used about a palm full.

  
Add a dash of crushed sea salt.

Stir all together.

Spray a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.

Reagan Advice (Scroll over picture to see advice)

Spread on top of the rack(s) so that the fries are not touching.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

They will brown on the edges and look done but try to keep from taking them out too early. The longer they are in the oven, the crispier they get. But watch them so they don't burn.

That's oil on the bottom of the pan but at least the fries didn't stick! YUMMY!!!
