Baked Sweet Potato Curly Fries with Parmesan

These fun baked sweet potato fries are made with spiralized sweet potatoes and topped with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese for a crunchy, savory snack that's healthy too. You can spiralize the sweet potatoes yourself or pick up a package of sweet potato "noodles" in the produce department of your supermarket to speed up the process even more. Since they're baked instead of fried, they're easier to make and lower in calories than deep-fried sweet potato fries. Serve them along with your favorite beef, turkey or veggie burgers or as a party appetizer that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

1 pound sweet potatoes (2 medium or 1 large), peeled if desired
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; place 2 large rimmed baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
Using a medium spiralizer blade, spiralize the sweet potatoes, cutting them into 4- to 5-inch lengths. Toss in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Remove the hot baking sheets from the oven and carefully top with parchment paper or silicone mats. Divide the sweet potatoes between the baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully transfer to the bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and Parmesan. Return to the baking sheets and bake until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes more.

Tips

Equipment: Spiral vegetable slicer; parchment paper or silicone baking mats

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
