How to Make Garlic Herb Sweet Potato Fries
Step 1: Preheat an oven to 450°F. Rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Cut the unpeeled potatoes lengthwise into slices ½ inch (12 mm) thick, and then cut each slice into batons about ¼ inch (6 mm) wide and 3 inches (7.5 cm) long.
Step 2: In a bowl, mix chopped parsley, grated parmesan cheese and minced garlic.
Step 3: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes out evenly. Roast, stirring with a spatula halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and browned on the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 4: In a large bowl, stir together the cheese, parsley and garlic. Add the warm fries and stir gently to coat. Season with salt and serve immediately.
How to Store Garlic Herb Sweet Potato Fries
