Add to Recipe BoxExtra Sweet- Sweet Potato Fries
A few weeks ago, my husband and I had dinner with some friends at a small BBQ restaurant. They had the most amazing sweet potato fries! Of course they were smothered in breading and deep fried, but they didn't have to be. Here is my version of these extra sweet potato fries, which I thought were great!
The process was this:
|
|
|
|
Step 1: Cut up 1-2 sweet potatoes (yam variety) |
Step 2: Pour 1 cup of low fat buttermilk in a bowl. |
|
|
|
|
Step 3: Combine 1 cup of plain bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. |
Step 4: Dump cut up sweet potatoes in the butter milk. |
|
|
|
|
Step 5: Take potato sticks out of buttermilk with a slotted spoon, and then put it in the bread crumb mixture. |
Step 5: Arrange fries on a greased baking sheet. Place in oven at 425 for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and no longer raw. |
Sweet potatoes are a great food to include in your families diet! They are great because:
- 1 cup of sweet potatoes has 438% DV for Vitamin A!
- 1 cup also has 37% DV For Vitamin C!
- They are shown to be Anti-inflammatory
- They are full of Anti-oxidants
- They are great for Blood sugar regulating.
