Sweet Potato Fries

I'm going to start with something SIMPLE but also extremely delicious. Over the last few weeks since I have been back in LAX, I have found myself making sweet potato fries 1-2 nights per week. Sweet potatoes are high in vitamins A, C and B6, as well as antioxidants and fiber. The not-so-appealing-looking-orange-ish-brown-ish things are actually quite good for you! These fries have no added oil, so they are low fat as well.
I have been enjoying them with a turkey or veggie burger and some ketchup :)

Here's how you make them:
Preheat the oven the 400 degrees.
Dice up a potato into long, fry like strips (you can peel the potato first if you don't like the skin, wash them if you leave the skin on).
Spread them out on a lightly greased cookie sheet, I use a few spritzes of cooking spray
Sprinkle the fries with desired seasoning (I use lawyrs seasoning salt)
Bake the fries 20-25 minutes, depending on how thick they are.
I tend to check them after about 15 minutes and flip them over with a spatula.
They will be golden brown when the are done.
