Sweet Potato Fries

I’ve tried several recipes for sweet potato fries, all with varying degrees of success (or failure). This recipe from the Food Network is the best recipe yet! The fries are full of flavor, tender on the outside, and crisp on the outside. Click here to view the original recipe, or you can follow my slightly modified version below.

Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients
2-3 medium sweet potatoes
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt from the skin. Cut the sweet potatoes into French fry shapes, about 1/2-inch wide by 3-inches long.

Add the sweet potatoes and the remaining ingredients to a large bowl and toss together until well coated. (Note: if you use more olive oil (4 tablespoons vs 3 tablespoons), the fries will have more of a “fried” texture.)

Spread the sweet potato fries out on a large baking sheet, making sure the fries aren’t crowded. I usually need to use more than one baking sheet.

Roast the fries 20-30 minutes, stirring once, until the fries are very dark around the edges. I’ve discovered that the sides of my oven are hotter than the middle, so some of my fries on the edges of the pan will be a bit burnt when the rest of the fries are perfectly done. Every oven is different though, so adjust your baking time, if needed. Enjoy!

Baked Zucchini Sticks

Pin It

Zucchini is in abundance right now, and this is a wonderful way to prepare them. The zucchini are coated in seasoned bread crumbs and then baked to perfection. You get tender zucchini beneath a crunchy coating, right out of the oven. The zucchini will need to sit for at least one hour before cooking, so be sure to start this recipe in advance. 

Ingredients
3 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
Olive oil spray

Cut the zucchini lengthwise into sticks about 3-inches long and ½-inch thick. Place the zucchini into a colander in the sink and sprinkle with the salt. Toss lightly and let stand for at least 1 hour. This will help draw the moisture out of the zucchini.

After the zucchini has rested for at least 1 hour, rinse thoroughly to remove excess salt (it will be plenty salty), then dry thoroughly with a towel.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees (use a convection setting, if you have it). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with the olive oil spray.

Place the flour in one shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk in a second shallow bowl, and place the bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl. Line up your breading assembly line, as follows: zucchini, flour, egg mixture, bread crumbs, and then parchment-lined baking sheet.

Use the “wet hand/dry hand” technique for coating the zucchini sticks. Drop a zucchini stick into the flour with your right hand and coat thoroughly; drop the stick into the egg and coat it using your left hand; lastly, drop the stick into the bread crumbs and coat with your right hand and then place on the baking sheet. This technique should keep your hands relatively clean and make the coating process more efficient. Repeat for the remaining zucchini sticks. Spray the zucchini lightly with olive oil spray.

Bake for about 12 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn each zucchini stick with tongs, and then bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!
