Ingredients

• 1 pound uncooked sweet potato, cut into 4-inch long X 1/2-inch-thick fries
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground turmeric (or cumin)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 medium fresh lime cut into wedges

Preparation

Step 1

Soak cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour; drain.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Arrange fries on parchment, packed tightly together; drizzle with oil and turn potatoes until fries are well-coated with oil.

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, turmeric, salt and sugar. Sprinkle half of spice mixture over fries; flip fries and sprinkle with remaining spices. Turn fries over several times to make sure spice mixture is evenly distributed.
