Ingredients




2 mediums Sweet Potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Granulated Light Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Kosher or Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Cut potatoes into fry-sized wedges.  Toss potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, brown sugar, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon.  Place wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.  Remove from oven and add more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

About


The seasoning is my personal preference, and I always like to add extra cinnamon.  These are delicious served with maple syrup or drizzled with honey.  If you're looking for something more savory, try using different seasonings (such as cayenne, paprika, rosemary or parsley) and omitting the brown sugar.
