Sweet Potato Fries

these came out great...the sprinkle of lemon juice made them taste awesome, i used a silpat mat to make sure they didn't burn...we'll be making them again soon

Excellent and simple. I sprinkled chili powder on them and tossed with olive oil. Use parchment paper in your rimmed baking sheet to avoid burning.

on the lowest rack my sweet potatoes became charcoal... I'll try again, though...

I always leave out the lemon juice and bake them on the lowest rack on a single baking sheet. They do come out crispy enough for me!

These are sooo tasty. We tried them and loved them so much we made them 3 more times within the next 2 weeks. Mmmmm.

THANKS MARJOSTEVENS FOR YOUR TIP, WILL BE TRYING IT TONIGHT. EXCEPT THINK I WILL LEAVE OFF THE LEMON JUICE.

About those sweet potato fries that didn't crisp up... Try cutting the recipe in 1/2 and spread the sweet potatoes on one baking sheet (instead of two). Then place that sheet on the lowest rack in the oven. I have found that oven "frying" potatoes on the lowest rack gets the outsides of the potatoes nice and crisp.

I love sweet potato fries. I just don't like the oil used in a fried recipe. I followed this recipe exactly and the fries never became crisp. After cooking for at least 1/2 hour longer, they were still mushy. I guess I'll have to go back to my fried receipe.
