So today I decided to make some baked sweet potato fries. Yes, they are not actually deep fried in oil like fries are normally. Instead, I chopped a small sweet potato into slices, spread canola oil (1 tbsp) over them, sprinkled some salt on them, and popped them in the toaster oven to bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes.
They make a nice snack, but I prefer to eat them with a sandwich or a taco, like the BBQ chicken taco recipe. This is because they come out a bit soft and taste lightly salty and sweet at the same time. I don't think they taste that great by themselves, but for some reason, whenever I eat them with my sandwich or tacos, I just can't get enough of them.
An interesting fact: Sweet potatoes are LOADED with Vitamin A. Vitamin A plays a vital role in the growth and repair of body tissues, and is important in maintaining good eyesight and healthy skin, as well as aid in bone and teeth formation. However, remember that too much of any nutrient may be harmful to the body. This is where I got my information from: http://ask.yahoo.com/20001011.html
