    BBQ Baked Sweet Potato Fries FAQs

    Can I use different seasonings for my fries?

    You don't have to use BBQ seasoning for your fries. You can use whatever kind of seasoning you prefer. Plain salt is fine, or you can go crazy with curry powder or EBTB seasoning!

    Would this recipe work with regular potatoes?

    This recipe would definitely work with regular potatoes. You may have to cook your fries a bit longer depending on the potato variety, but everything else should be the same.

    How should I store leftover fries?

    You can store leftover fries in an airtight container in the fridge. They may get a bit soggy the longer they are stored, but you can reheat them for a bit more crispness.

    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs sweet potatoes
    • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
    • 1¼ tsp paprika
    • ½ tsp chili powder
    • ¼ tsp garlic powder
    • ¾ tsp onion powder
    • 1 tsp mesquite powder
    • ½ tsp maca powder
    • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
    • ¾ tsp sea salt
    • 1 tsp coconut sugar

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
    • Cut the sweet potatoes into long fries, about ½-inch thick.
    • Toss with melted coconut oil and spread out flat onto 2 baking sheets.
    • Place fries in the oven and roast for about 15–25 minutes, until fries are cooked through and begin to brown. **Cook for an additional 5–10 minutes for crispier fries.
    • While the fries are cooking, mix together all the spice powders and remaining dry ingredients in a small bowl.
    • When the fries have finished roasting, remove the baking sheets from the oven and immediately sprinkle some of the spice mixture on top, tossing the fries around with a spatula to ensure even coating.
    • Serve fries warm with Maqui Ketchup or regular ketchup if desired.

    Notes

    The peel on root vegetables is where the most nutrition is, and sweet potatoes are no exception. Roasting these fries unpeeled locks in more flavor and offers extra minerals.
