Savory Sweet Potato Fries

I told you guys a few weeks ago how I was trying to incorporate more sweet potatoes into our meals, and I wanted to share my recipe with you for homemade Savory Sweet Potato Fries.   These are super easy to make, taste delicious, and sweet potatoes are good for you!

I might be strange but I like my sweet potato fries savory, instead of sweet. And there’s no better way to achieve a savory flavor to them, than adding BACON.


SAVORY SWEET POTATO FRIES


INGREDIENTS
2-3 Sweet Potatoes cut into thin fries, or thin round discs
2—3 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon
1-2 teaspoons of thyme
1-2 teaspoons of kosher salt/sea salt
1-2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil


DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven to 420 degrees and line a baking sheet/pan with foil or parchment paper.
You can cut your sweet potatoes into fries, or round discs. Then toss them in a large bowl with the coconut oil/olive oil. Make sure to heat the coconut oil up so that it is in a liquid state before coating the sweet potatoes with it.
Place the sweet potatoes on the baking pan and spread them out in a thin layer.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, thyme, and salt onto the sweet potatoes.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fries look done.

The fries go great with a garlic mayo or an aioli type of dipping sauce. A perfect way to enjoy your savory fries….
