SERVES: 1-2 PREP: 10 MINS COOK: 30-40 MINS
INGREDIENTS:
· 1 medium sweet potato
· 1 tbsp. of coconut oil
· ~1/2 tps. of chili powder
· ~1/2 tps. of garlic powder
· ~1/2 tps. of cayenne pepper
· Salt
· Pepper
METHOD:
1) To start with, wash and peel the sweet potato (I personally don’t mind the peel, so I typically just wash the potato.
2) Preheat the oven to 300° F.
3) Cut potato into small fry sized slices.
4) Melt coconut in the microwave and spread onto to a flat backing sheet pan.
5) Place fry pieces onto the sheet pan and mix with the coconut oil until the pieces are coated.
6) Add chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and a dash of salt and pepper to the fries.
7) Lightly stir ingredients and fries together using a spatula.
8) Put pan into the oven. Set the timer for 30 mins.
9) Stir fries every 5-10 mins.
10) Fries are done when they are soft. Let cook for longer if need be (I take a fork a stick into one of the fries. If it goes in easy, then they are done!)
11) Take the pan out and let them cool for about 5 mins.
12) Transfer to your dish of choice! Enjoy!
