Roasted + Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

prep time: 10 minscook time: 30 minstotal time: 40 mins

ingredients:

2 pounds sweet potatoes 
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Honey, to serve

instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two rimmed baking sheets with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Cut the potatoes into 1/2″ wedges, or to your desired thickness and length and put in a large bowl. Whisk the spices together in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then pour over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly. 
  3. Transfer the potatoes to your rimmed baking sheets. Spread the potatoes in a single layer (to make sure they get crispy, not soggy) and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking for even browning. 
  4. Remove from the oven once the edges begin to brown and fries begin to crisp. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt (and honey, for a sweet touch) to serve.
