Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

Sometimes you just want to be naughty. I don't miss chocolate because I eat it all the time. So I don't crave chocolate, I can just whip up some raw fudge in 2 seconds if I need chocolate. What I miss is french fries. Just the joy of sharing a big plate of fries with someone. Such an experience. 

Food should be a happy experience. Don't eat what makes you sick, but please find food you love that makes you well. I am a firm believer that food, the right foods, can be your medicine....that does not mean that you will have to live a salad only diet. I love salad but there are so many wonderful foods jam packed with vitamins that are just waiting for you to get your hands on, an example... sweet potato fries!! No their not really fried but roasted to perfection! 

What a fun experience to sit up at your bar with your family sharing a big tray of fries you can feel really good about. So simple yet so enjoyable!!

SPICY SWEET POTATO FRIES (  from Julie Morris-" Superfood Kitchen"...excluding mesquite powder)

3 sweet potatoes cut into 1/2 in pieces
2 T coconut oil melted
1 1/4 t paprika
1/2 t chili powder
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t onion powder
1/2 t maca powder
1/8 t cayenne pepper
3/4 t sea salt
1 t coconut sugar

*Do not peel the sweet potatoes, you will lose tons of nutrients.
Preheat oven to 450. Cut fries into long strips about 1/2 in thick. Toss with melted coconut oil and spread out flat onto 2 baking sheets. Roast for 15-25 min. While fries are cooking mix together the spices and dry ingredients in small bowl. 
Remove fries, place in serving tray and sprinkle spice mixture on top. Gently move around fries for even coating. Enjoy!
