I absolutely LOVE French fries, so it is time to tackle healthy sweet potato fries that are crispy and crunchy. I am a huge burger person, so naturally, I love fries as well. My favorites are the really thick, steak fries type. It can be hard to resist a craving for fries. Carbs are my weakness. Sweet potatoes are a great way to mildly reduce guilt. They have a lot less starch than regular potatoes and still taste great!

I paired my Garlic Avocado Aioli with the fries. The combination was great! A paired dipping sauce really brings out the amazing quality of these fries.
Before placing the fries in the oven, I lightly brushed them with oil to help produce the perfect crunch.
The color of the spices becomes really bold while baking.

I attempted to make this without a recipe and the fries were fine but nothing to brag about. Then I decided to try this recipe and the tip to pre-soak I think really made a HUGE difference! The flavor! The crispiness!! I can't wait to make these again!
