My husband isn’t a huge fan of sweet potatoes and even he loved these sweet potato fries. This isn’t a McDougall recipe due to the added olive oil. Next time I make these I will try it with less olive oil and update. These are a very healthy & low fat side dish that is super tasty and easy to make.

Prep time: 20 mins; Cook time: 30 mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into fries*
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450
2. * Slice the sweet potatoes into french fry strips. Sweet potatoes are a bit difficult to cut so I microwaved them for 1 minute to soften them up a bit.
3. Put sliced sweet potatoes in a ziploc bag
4. In a bowl mix the olive oil, cumin, chili powder and onion powder.
5. Pour the spice mixture into the ziploc bag and toss those babies. Let sit for about 15-20 minutes.
6. Spread evenly on a baking sheet
7. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes

This enchilada sauce is absolutely incredible AND barely any fat. The red wine really gives this a nice flavor. This is very easy and quick to make as well. Just pour over burrito, enchilada, even try it as a low-fat baked potato topping. This is a modified version from a recipe I found on allrecipes.com.
