WELCOME APRIL! ('OODLES OF ZOODLES' ~ CURLY SWEET POTATO FRIES)


"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance." 
 
~ Japanese Proverb



'Oodles of Zoodles'



CURLY POTATO FRIES

For each large scrubbed sweet potato
2  Tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil
1/4  tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2  tsp. garlic powder
coarse salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

  • Preheat oven to 450ยบ. Spiralize sweet potatoes (Paderno Spiralizer) or cut into slender wedges. 
  • Toss sweet potato with oil and seasonings.
  • Spread fries in a single layer on large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil - try not to overlap or they will steam instead of bake.
  • Bake on top rack of oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping half way in between baking.
Note: I have a 4-blade Paderno Spiralizer from Williams-Sonoma
