Sweet Potato Fries

These Sweet Potato Fries are almost like my Oven Fries, so simple and delicious. I'm not sure which one that I like better. I remember when I was little that if anyone mentioned sweet potatoes my face immediately scrunched up and I would give you a very loud "ewwww," who would have ever thought that I would like them and even get excited about them. If you are like I used to be, give sweet potatoes a try (and I would strongly suggest this be where you start!)

Wash the sweet potatoes and cut them into sticks. Put them in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Place them on a greased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos


When I heard from my roommate that she was making sweet potato burritos I was a little hesitant and not sure how I was going to like them...but they turned out being really good. I was even disappointed when I came home the next day and there were no leftovers to eat for dinner. I love that my taste buds are changing and that I'm becoming more willing to try other things that when I was younger I would have never even given a chance. I'm learning that sweet potatoes are a great starter also and that you can do many things with them.
