Crunchy Sweet Potato Fries or “Croutons”. Careful, They’re Addictive

The best way to keep a dish simple without being boring is to add some tasty toppings. One way I love to sass up my basic salads or soups is with some crispy sweet potato fries or “croutons”.
I always make sweet potato croutons in my cooking classes and they’re a huge hit.
Here’s my recipe on how to make them.
Recipe: Crunchy Sweet Potato Fries or “Croutons”
Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes or yams
2 tbsp olive oil
sea salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Slice sweet potatoes into small, ½-inch cubes.
- Add sweet potatoes to a medium bowl with olive oil and a few sprinkles of sea salt. Stir until sweet potatoes are completely coated.
- Arrange sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet (if they are too crowded, they’ll come out mushy, so you might want to use two baking sheets to give your potatoes more “personal space”).
- Pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes and bake until lightly browned and crunchy at the corners.
- Let cool then serve on top of salad, soup, or as a side dish.
Good luck not horsing them all down the moment they come out of the oven, they’re pretty addictive.
