Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Fries are definitely the most popular snack in the world and although I hate to admit it, I was addicted to them for a long time. I still am but I bake them now and do so quite regularly. 
Tried and Tasted is back and on the spotlight this month is Suganya's Tasty Palettes. What a wonderful blog to make a comeback with! I had Suganya's blog bookmarked long before I started blogging and have drooled over so many of her dishes. The photographs are just splendid. 
So when I saw these Baked Sweet Potato Fries I knew what I was gonna snack on in the evening. 



I followed Suganya's recipe, but my fries were cut into thin wedges, so I baked them only for about 12-15mins and then broiled for 2-3mins, I just love the slightly burnt taste. I also tossed them in Italian seasonings. 
The fries were delicious and had an amazing texture. We could not stop munching. With sweet potatoes being actually good for us, I have decided to switch. No more regular fries for me.
Thanks Suganya for this wonderful recipe.
