Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Japanese Seven Spice
Craving something savory and sweet? These oven-baked sweet potato fries are seasoned to perfection with a delicious blend of Japanese spices.
Ingredients
- Sweet potatoes – sliced into 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick pieces cut off any skinny ends to prevent burning
- Vegetable oil or light olive oil
- Generous sprinkles of Season with Spice’s Japanese Seven Spice Shichimi Togarashi
- Season with Spice’s Sichuan Pepper Sea Salt to taste (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Lightly coat the sweet potato pieces with oil. To prevent sticking, mix well to make sure all pieces are evenly coated with oil.
- Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.
- Bake in the oven for a total of 25-30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, remove from the oven and turn over all the sweet potato pieces. Then bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are nicely crisp and golden. Every oven is different, so do keep a close watch on them.
- Remove from oven, and sprinkle generously with Japanese Seven Spice and season lightly with Sichuan Pepper Sea Salt.
Notes
- For a crispier sweet potato fry, be sure to dry the sweet potatoes well after cleaning.
