Sweet Potato Baked Home Fries -RECIPE FROM WE HEART VEGAN

Serves 4

2 large sweet potatoes

2 Tbsp. olive oil or canola oil

Dash of paprika

Ample sprinkle of sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

Scrub the potatoes well; slice first into rings by cutting end to end then cut each circle into triangles by slicing it in half twice.

Place all the chunks into a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients; toss to coat.

Spread onto a baking sheet, being sure that they are in a single layer, and bake in a preheated 400 F oven for 8 minutes; flip after the 8 minutes and bake 8 more. Since the cubes are small they won’t take long at all.

Carefully remove each one and put in to a dish for serving; serve hot!
