- Preheat oven to 400
- scrub sweet potatoes (they say 6 medium/large ones but I only use 1 or 2) clean and/or peel them if you don't think your child can handle the skins (Kye likes them so I leave them)
- Cut into sizes that will suit your need or cut into strips that you can cut down later (I do the strips)
- In a large bowl put 1/4 cup of olive oil and add cinnamon, ginger, brown sugar etc (I put both cinnamon and brown sugar)
- Toss the cut up sweet potatoes into the bowl and stir so they are drenched in the olive oil mix.
- Dump onto a baking sheet, drizzle remaining olive oil over potatoes on sheet
- Stir and swirl potatoes on baking sheet before placing in oven
- bake 30-45 minutes or until tender (I do around 30)
Kye adores sweet potatoes and often eats them baked from the microwave. I like to make the fries as a nice variety to the same old thing and he enjoys them too. I wouldn't say he likes them more or less than the baked version but Zach said he liked them in the fry version so I guess that's a plus in that direction!
