Thick Cut Sweet Potato Fries with Paleo Ketchup
This healthy twist on the American classic ‘fries and ketchup’ will satisfy your craving for the fast food favorite, but wont leave you feeling bloated and guilty.
Servings: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato makes about 2 cups of fries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil coconut oil works really well too
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons cracked pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, if you enjoy a little extra spice
paleo ketchup
- 6 oz can organic tomato paste
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons cracked pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon all spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and then place wire baking rack on top (the foil allows for easy cleanup should anything spill through the rack).
- If the sweet potatoes you use are organic, I highly recommend eating the skin – it’s full of wonderful nutrients. If they are not organic, skin them first; the skins could contain harmful toxins.
- Slice the sweet potatoes into ½” discs then into ½” strips.
- Toss with the oil and spices.
- Lay on the wire baking rack allow at least ½” space between each fry.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- If they’re not crispy enough at the end of the 30 min, bump heat to 500 degrees and leave in for an additional 3-4 minutes.
