Sweet Potato Fries

This is just about my favorite side dish. I can put this with anything, chicken, steak, burgers or fish. I have adapted my own recipe from many times of trying different things.

2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into wedges
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon red pepper/cayenne
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 425F. Put sweet potato wedges into a bowl. Toss with oil and spices until very well coated. Spread onto non-stick baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes of until crisp on out side but tender when poked with a fork. Makes 4 servings at about 80 calories per serving.
These are much lower in sodium than any of the frozen prepackaged ones you will pick up in the store. Hope you enjoy eating healthy-happy!
