Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into even sized batonettes; 1/2″ x the length of the potatoes. Hint: cut them in uniform sizes so they roast evenly together.
Add the potatoes to a large heavy baking pan.
Add the oil and all the seasonings (smoked paprika through black pepper.)
Rub in evenly with you fingers and space them evenly on the pan, not touching one another.
Roast in the oven about 25 minutes, turning them over once.
Make the Garlic Topping while they cook; see below.
The timing will depend on the size of the sweet potato fries.
Hint: Turn over when golden underneath; continue cooking until uniformly browned, crispy and cooked through.
Garlic Topping:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a small skillet until melted over low-medium heat until bubbly. Take off heat.
Add 2 teaspoons of chopped garlic – and let the garlic soften in the butter.
Finish the Fries:
Add the cooked, golden fries to a serving plate – pour over the Garlic-Butter Topping
and toss in. Immediately add 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley all over – enjoy!
* with concerns about gmo’s and processing of oils, use a vegetable oil which has not been chemically treated, this is called “expeller pressed.”
**Kashmiri ground chilis: has slightly more heat than paprika. It is used for its full-bodied flavor and aroma, and to impart its vibrant red color to dishes.
