Oh baby, it’s cold outside! So how ’bout we warm things up with fully flavorful, richly nutritious, and easy to make oven roasted sweet potato fries.

First, a few tips.

1. Sweet potatoes are packed with beneficial antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood sugar moderating properties. For details, I highly recommend this link to the very comprehensive sweet potato page on the World’s Healthiest Foods site:http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=64.
2. Adding some fat to cooked sweet potato in the form of a little butter or oil will help your body absorb and process the fat-soluble vitamins found in the vegetable, primarily, vitamin A. (This recipe uses a shot of canola oil cooking spray for roasting, which helps satisfy that need.)
3. I prefer not peeling the skin from any potatoes as most of the nutrients reside both in the skin and just below the skin. Instead, I give the potatoes a good dirt cleaning scrub with an abrasive sponge (you can also use a brush or your bare hands) under cold running water as shown below.
