Sweet Potato Fries
Take one larget sweet potato. Peel it and cut it into strips. Toss with a tablespoon of olive oil and some dried rosemary and garlic. Add a fresh grind of black pepper.
Spread the strips on a sheet of aluminum foil and bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-25 minutes. Sprinkle with a touch of sea salt. Serve.
Mmm, these are so good. Our friends Dave and Jill Harmon grow a variety of red sweet potatoes in their mid Michigan garden. Dave harvests sweet potatoes by the bushel. I asked Jill to bring me a few this fall so I could try this recipe.
I left this batch in the oven a tad bit too long. If you try the recipe, watch the last ten minutes and pull them out of the oven when done.
The sweet potato fries make a perfect appetizer. Who wouldn't like veggies like this that taste so good?!

Veggies roasted like this are fantastic, Wanda. I prepare them this way all the time. Root vegetables like rutabagas, turnips and parsnips are particularly good. Oh, and try cauliflower. Out of this world!
