Sweet potatoes are LOADED with vitamin A and fiber. The drizzle of maple syrup (which is surprisingly nutritious too) turns the naturally sweet spuds from the ordinary into the extraordinary, while the flax seeds provide a crunchy coating and a dose of omega-3s. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty!
Here’s how to make Sweet Potato Superfood Fries:
Ingredients:
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon ground flax
- Sea salt to taste
- Cinnamon to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400º F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the sweet potato into fry shape, taking care to make each piece the same size (~ 1/4″).
- Drizzle the maple syrup into a large bowl, and toss the fries in, making sure they’re all evenly coated by massaging them with your fingers.
- Transfer the coated fries into a Ziploc baggie and add the flax, sea salt, and cinnamon.
- Close the baggie and begin shaking/massaging it to ensure all of the fries are evenly coated.
- Empty the fries onto the baking sheet, and bake for 40 minutes, turning them halfway through.
- Allow cooling slightly before enjoying. They taste wonderful on their own, and even better when dipped in nut butter, ketchup, or hummus.
