Cajun Baked Sweet Potato Fries
I’m kind of a sweet potato fiend. Sweet potato oats, granola, muffins, tater tots, smoothies, salads, soups, chips, burgers, Mediterranean style, CHOCOLATE COVERED. How have I not made fries on Minimalist Baker before? This has to change.
Because sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, they beckon to be tossed in all things spicy. Enter, a simple cajun spice mix, comprised of things you likely have sitting in your pantry right now.
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Cayenne
Garlic Powder
Oregano
Thyme
Who knew getting down ‘n’ dirty cajun style was this easy?
Speaking of easy, so is this recipe! Just 9 ingredients (give or take a spice) and roughly 30 minutes required. That’s my kind of soul food.
These fries are amazing!
Savory
Naturally sweet
Perfectly spiced
Amazingly flavorful
Simple
Quick
Perfect for snacking / appetizers / a side dish
My favorite way to have sweet potato fries is alongside a hearty veggie burger. But these really are perfect as is as a snack or appetizer. And if you aren’t into super spicy foods, just scale back on the cayenne for slightly less heat without sacrificing flavor.
