We all know how healthy sweet potatoes are with their high content of beta-carotene and vitamins, all the good stuff that helps keep you young. Originally from South America, they have been grown for at least 10,000 years. They are a great non starchy carb, sweet, creamy and delicious. Have these as a snack, an appetizer or as a side dish with your meal.
Peel the potatoes (or wash them well and keep skin on)
Trim off a slight piece on the bottom, so the potato doesn’t roll. Then slice lengthwise into approx 5 pieces and then slice lengthwise again into approx 4 pieces. You should have what looks like large French fries.
Place them in a mixing bowl and add the corn starch. Mix well until each piece is nicely coated.
Add the oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt and pepper. Mix well.
On two baking sheet pans (trays) place anon stick mat or parchment paper.
Arrange your potato batons nicely ensuring they are not touching each other.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 min at 350°F – 180°C or until golden brown.
If preparing in advance, cook sweet potato as above, then reheat them at a lower oven temperature before serving.
Use with your favourite dip, or make the quick one as above.
