My family and I loved these. They were a fun change to oven fries.

I jazzed my fries up by adding cinnamon and allspice. My husband usually only eat candied sweet potatoes, but he really liked these. Thanks!

I make a slight variation of this. I use olive oil, cumin and paparika. It is easy, tastes great and is healthy! What else can you want.

I added dried thyme along with the cayenne that gave these some nice extra flavor. Also, after they finished baking, I placed them under the broiler to crisph them up. Delicious
