These healthy fries start with fresh sweet potatoes and extra virgin olive oil, then are baked instead of fried.

- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or Coconut Oil, unrefined and virgin)
- pinch Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt
- Variety of Spices (see recipe note)
Note
How do you like your fries...with salt? How about wtih cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice? Speaking of spice, maybe you want them hot & spicy with cayenne, chipotle, or chili pepper. Also good with fresh rosemary or try fresh chopped mint for a different twist.
