We love sweet potatoes in my family, their dark orange color means they are packed with lots of good-for-you vitamins and their natural sweetness make them the perfect addition to a meal as they already have a nice kid-friendly sweet flavor making them a no-sugar needed momma approved food! I love this recipe for oven baked sweet potatoes, only a few simple ingredients and BOOM! you’ve got a great tasting clean side dish!
These oven baked fries have a touch of cayenne pepper so there’s a bit of a kick to them, if you aren’t into that you can decrease it but there is just something about the sweet and spicy flavor these fries have that really make them outstanding in my opinion. Give them a whirl, I bet you’ll love them too!

yummy I love sweet potato fries!!!
They are the bomb, aren’t they Andrea!!
I need a new oven (T-T)
Ackk! I was there a few summers ago…stinks!! But you really appreciate that new one when you finally get it!
Yum… we love sweet potato fries too, but we put on chili power, paprika, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Delish!
Oooh, chili powder is so good too! I’ve never done Rosemary though…which is weird because that is what I use on my chicken often!
Thanks for an easy, healthy recipe! You rock in that dept.! Have to admit I haven’t tried sweet potato fries but am going to now with this easy recipe:)
Oh, I hope you love these RitaMarie, they really are soooo good!
Ok, I just put the sweet potato into the oven! Delish!
Great idea to make them spicy, I added extra spices, baked them 45 minutes and then put them under the broiler a few minutes. I like mine a with a little more crisp, so next time I will bake them a little longer.
