Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash and scrub potatoes to clean and remove dirt.
Leave skin on and cut sweet potato into 1-inch slices. Take each slice and cut into sticks (about 1 inch by 1 inch by 4 inches).
Toss sticks in a bowl with the oil and maple syrup. Add nutmeg, cloves and salt and toss, making sure the fries are well coated with the seasonings.
Line sheet tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spread the fries onto the tray, in a single layer.
Bake for 16-18 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Chef Tips

Try to cut sweet potato fries into equally sized pieces so they cook at the same rate. Make sure the fries are covered in enough oil, if they aren’t they will burn quite easily!
