We made a recipe last night that I wanted to pass along to you.  I didn’t get this from Rachael Ray’s cookbook, but this is the type of recipe that is quick and easy to make just like Rachael Ray would make it.

It is a Sweet Potato French Fry recipe.

Sweet potatoes are a low glycemic load food which means your body doesn’t get flooded with sugar and have to increase a lot of insulin to get the sugar out of the blood. 

It also means your body will attempt to burn more of the calories you eat for energy rather than trying to store them as fat which is what happens when your insulin levels are elevated. 

Add this recipe to your list of healthy recipes and enjoy.

Sweet Potato Fries

1.5 pounds of sweet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Peel the skin from the sweet potatoes and cut sweet potatoes into half inch strips.  Place them in a large ziploc or sealable bag.  Mix the other ingredients into a small bowl and stir well.   Pour into the sealable bag and close. 

Shake the bag to mix up the liquid mixture amongst the sweet potato strips. 

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and spread the fries onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray or use foil to line the baking sheet.  Place fries into the oven for 30 minutes.  Spread the fries around and mix them up every 10 minutes during the 30 minutes. 

Remove from the oven and serve.

Yours in health,
