Barbecue Sweet Potato Shoestring Fries
Author: 
Serves: 6 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
  • ½ cup oil (use any neutral flavored oil)
  • 2 teaspoons paprika, preferably smoked
  • 1 teaspooon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Cut sweet potatoes into "matchstick" fries - similar to a regular fries shape, but much smaller. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  3. Add remaining ingredients to baking sheet. Toss well until everything is coated evenly. Spread fries out on tray - they will bot be in a single layer, which is fine because they are not intended to get crispy.
  4. Bake for 75-85 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes, until caramelized, chewy and seriously delicious!
Plan Ahead:
  1. These can be made a couple of days ahead of time and served at room temperature. If you prefer, you can rewarm them, loosely covered, until heated through. Do not freeze.
