Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice chex cereal or gluten free corn flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Rosemary
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Add the cereal, rosemary and parmesan to a food processor. Blend for 30-60 seconds into a fine crumb mixture. Set aside.
  3. Slice the sweet potatoes as uniformly as possible into ¼ inch fries. To do this, slice each potato straight down the middle, lengthwise, then slice vertically into “fries”, then slice each fry in half.
  4. Place the sweet potato fries in a large plastic bag, then add the olive oil.
  5. Toss to coat, then add the rosemary parmesan cereal coating to the bag.
  6. Toss to coat, then place the fries in an even layer on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • To peel or not to peel? I do not peel my sweet potatoes, because I like the texture of the skin. This is totally a personal choice and you can peel the potatoes before making the fries, if you'd like.
  • Purchasing sweet potatoes: when making this recipe, try to purchase sweet potatoes that are long and skinny. They're easier to cut into fries than the thicker, round sweet potatoes.
  • Using a wire rack for baking: these fries can also be baked on an oiled wire rack on top of a baking sheet. If baking on a wire rack, the fries do not need to be flipped half way through the baking process.
  • Reheating:  To reheat these sweet potato fries, place them back on a baking sheet in an even layer and into a 425°F oven for 5 minutes, or until crispy and heated through.
