Sweet Potato Fries

These are baked and not fried and I didn't miss the oil at all.  I found that they came out crisper when cut to the size of "sticks," and set up on a rack above the pan.  I used an all-purpose seasoning instead of salt and pepper.  Really nice and really easy.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ⁄2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Heat the oven to 400.
Cut the sweet potatoes into sticks 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long, and toss them with the oil.
Mix the spices, salt and pepper in a small bowl, and toss them with the sweet potatoes. Spread them out on 2 rimmed baking sheets.
Bake until brown and crisp on the bottom, about 15 minutes, then flip and cook until the other side is crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
