Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

Cooking spray (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

      Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Set aside.

        Toss with Oil: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil until they are well coated.

          Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the fries, and toss again until the fries are evenly coated.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sweet potato fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to achieve maximum crispiness.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary based on thickness and oven differences. They should be golden and crispy.

                Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm and enjoy your deliciously sweet cinnamon sugar fries!
