Ingredients:

• 2 cups of sweet potatoes (1 lb.), peeled and cut into French fries
• 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil
• 1/4 tsp. of salt
• 1/4 tsp. of freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine sweet potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper in large-size bowl. Toss to coat.
• Arrange potatoes in single layer on baking sheet.
• Bake about 10 minutes. Turn over. Continue baking until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes longer.
• Tip : Pure maple syrup has a smoother, more subtle flavor than imitation syrups, and is actually less sweet. You don’t need the most expensive “fancy” or “light amber” grade of maple syrup, which is used in candy making. “Medium amber” is the best grade for table use. Cheap maple-flavored syrups are usually made from corn syrup, flavored with a little pure maple syrup; they are simply not as good as the real thing. If you heat maple syrup, it will go further. Keep open containers in the refrigerator.
