Since so many people don't want to eat potatoes these days, sweet potatoes are a great alternative. We don't want to use a lot of oil either, so we resort to the oven, which is absolutely great! The previous recipe was so good, so I experimented a little more because I love spicy food.
Here I have made a variation with my magic spices, to get the flavor of this I like to serve my raita mix or date chutney . I prefer to make the raita with kefir or buttermilk so that it has fewer calories than sour cream and not too sour taste. You can get an allergy-friendly variation with oat cream or soy yogurt, then use a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to get a little sour taste.
It is not necessary to peel the sweet potatoes, but I chose to do so.
SPICY SWEET POTATO FRIES
500 g sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons oil
¾ tsp salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ tsp pepper
2 tsp dried mint
4 tablespoons lemon juice
Procedure:
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thick slices.
- Mix oil and all spices.
- Bake for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 225 degrees. This will make them crispy.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over before serving.
