Spiced Sweet Potato Fries




I find sweet potatoes so satisfying as the weather turns colder. They are filling, sweet, they spice up very nicely, and they are rich in Vitamin A. They are probably my favourite winter vegetable.

I prefer to cut sweet potatoes into cubes or wedges. If the fries are too thin, I find they dry out (the outside is over-cooked), and the inside can not be appreciated.

4 yams or sweet potatoes, cubed or wedged
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. cinnamon
course sea salt

Combine the oil, vinegar, cinnamon and sea salt. Drizzle it over sweet potatoes and toss until potatoes are evenly covered. Bake at 400 degrees, stirring or flipping every 10 minutes, for about 35 minutes total or until soft (time will vary depending on thickness of potatoes). If you have a baking stone, use it.
