Sweet potato fries

From sarahcucinabella.com

1 – 1 1/2 lb sweet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Peel the sweet potatoes. Cut into strips that are about 1/2 inch wide on each side.
Place the sweet potatoes into a resealable plastic bag. Add oil, salt, paprika and cinnamon. Seal the bag and shake well to thoroughly coat the fries. Spread the potatoes out onto the baking sheet in a single layer.

Cook for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, until slightly browned. Transfer immediately to a paper towel lined plate and serve warm.

We did strips and chips. The strip got crunchier on the outside than the chips and I cooked them a little longer than 30 minutes so they were crunchy to my liking.

Waffles


2 eggs
1 cup wheat flour
1 cup white flour

1 3/4 cup milk
1 tbsp brown or granulated sugar
4 tsp baking powder
