Sweet Potato Wedges/Fries
4 small sweet potatoes
Olive oil
Ground cinnamon
Sea Salt
Rinse sweet potatoes with water and use a potato brush to remove any sand/dirt.
Peel sweet potatoes (vegetable peeler works well) and cut into slices or wedges approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Toss in gallon-size zipper bag with a tablespoon olive oil. Spread potato slices on a baking pan and sprinkle with cinnamon and sea salt.
Roast in a preheated oven (400 degrees F) for 25-30 minutes depending on thickness of slices. Toss halfway through cooking time.
