My daughter has been pestering me to make sweet potato fries. It’s funny. She doesn’t like sweet potatoes. But she loves sweet potato fries! So when I had extra sweet curry powder (after making curried cucumber soup), I got the brilliant idea to make curried baked sweet potato fries.

Sweet Curry Powder

I’ve become big a fan of sweet curry powder. It’s a fantastic mix of healthy spices:

• Cumin
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Cardamon
• Ginger
• Turmeric
• Cloves
• Fennel Seed 

Curried Baked Sweet Potato Fries

This recipe is brilliant both for its simplicity and its pleasing combination of flavors. My husband also doesn’t like sweet potatoes – or curry! But even he wanted some of these curried baked sweet potato fries!

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

• Preheat oven 400ºF (I use my convection toaster oven. If you are using a conventional oven you may need to adjust baking time.)
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scrub sweet potato and pat dry. Use a sharp knife to slice into 1/2 inch thick fries. (Leave skin on.)
• Add sweet curry powder, olive oil, sea salt, and fries to a 1-gallon plastic bag. Twist the top closed and shake and massage ingredients until sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
• Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake sweet potatoes for 15 minutes, turn and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.

Notes

The sweet curry ingredients make about 1/2 cup of curry powder. Store it in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. The recipe was adapted from wikihow.com.
