Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Yield: 4 servings
• 2 sweet Potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch squared strips
• ¼ cup Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus 2 teaspoons
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon chili powder
• Kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice bath (large bowl, ice, and water)
Place the cut sweet potatoes into the boiling water and blanch for 30-45 seconds. With a slotted spoon transfer the potatoes directly into the ice bath and shock. After 1 minute drain the cooled potatoes and pat dry. Put on the side.
In a small saucepot combine brown sugar, 1-tablespoon oil, ginger, cinnamon, and chili powder and simmer on medium low for 2 to 3 minutes until thick and syrup like. In a large bowl pour the sauce over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Rub 2 teaspoons of oil on a non-stick baking sheet to prevent the fries from sticking. Arrange potatoes on the sheet pan and bake until brown, 25-30 minutes, turning after 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with Kosher salt to taste. Serve and enjoy.
