I don’t know about you, but I love Sweet Potato Fries.

However those yummy ones you order at a restaurant are usually coated in a batter and deep fried, it’s no wonder they taste so good.

So how do you create a healthier delicious version of Sweet Potato Fries at home? It’s super easy really – egg white, seasoning and a little starch and the result is perfect golden Sweet Potato Fries.

Wondering what seasonings to choose? I have these lovely suggestions below:

CAJUN SEASONING MIX

This is enough mix for a 2 person serving of fries (double up to serve more)

• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
• 1/2teaspoon of cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon of oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• salt and black pepper

(I mix this all up using a mortar and pestle)

GARLIC AND HERB MIX

This is enough mix for a 2 person serving of fries (double up to serve more)

• 1 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1/2 tablespoon of Italian mixed herbs
• sea salt

(I mix this all up using a mortar and pestle)

BBQ SEASONING MIX

This is enough mix for a 2 person serving of fries (double up to serve more)

• 1/2 tablespoon of tomato paste
• 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon of chilli powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon of sugar or sweetener
• 1/8 teaspoon of mustard powder
• 1/8 teaspoon of oregano
• little salt and black pepper

PARMESAN AND HERB MIX

This is enough mix for a 2 person serving of fries (double up to serve more)

• parmesan or cheddar from your HEa
• fresh chopped Italian parsley
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 clove of garlic

(I mix this all up using a mortar and pestle) – add the cheese half way through cooking time.

but just good ole sea salt is good enough for seasoning too.

Want to make crinkle cut sweet potato fries? then this crinkle cutter, is perfect.  You can even buy a waffle slicer – that lets you make your own waffle fries – how awesome!!

These sweet potato fries are gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and paleo or whole30 friendly (watch seasonings for the latter, as some might not be compliant).

Unfortunately unlike these amazing Butternut Squash Fries, sweet potato is not a speed food, but it is a FREE FOOD on Slimming World, so just serve them up with a good serving of speed foods like salad or vegetables.

To be on the safe side, I syn these at 0.5 syns per serving, the recipes serves 2 and it is 0.5 syns for the whole serving, so negligible really when portioned. But you have to be cautious right?
