Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potatoes fries are a healthier options for your side dish. They are creamy, full of flavour, nutritious and definitely less boring than your regular chips or rice. You can enjoy them as a quick snack also or just like me, have them for a lunch as a main course. I love to have my hot Cajun fries with a mild cucumber salad.

If you don't like spicy food much, you can skip the Cajun spice and season the fries with cinnamon or/and salt. Enjoy;)

Sweet Potatoes Fries 

(makes 2 portions)

1 large sweet potato

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon 

1 tsp Cajun spice mix

Olive oil

1 cucumber 

2 tbsp creme fraiche 

1 tbsp chopped spring onions 

Salt, Pepper

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash and peel the sweet potato. You can leave a skin if you fancy, but if you do so, make sure your potato is organic- skin can be waxed otherwise. Cut sweet potatoes into long, thin sticks. Place them into large bowl, add ginger, cinnamon and Cajun spice mix. Drizzle with the olive oil and mix together until all sticks and covered with spices and olive oil. Place the fries on a baking tray and bake them for around 20 minutes until brown and crispy. They will be definitely ready when the edges are dark. 

To prepare a salad, simply slice cucumber and mix it with spring onions and crème fraîche. Season with salt and pepper.
