sweet pot fries 300x201 3 Ways to Enjoy Your New Favorite Winter VeggieFrench-fry style:  Preheat the oven to 425. Slice potatoes into wedges or discs (or use a spiralizer if you have one.)  Season the fries with a little pepper, sea salt, garlic and paprika.  Grease pan and toss them in the oven for 40-45 minutes , turning half way through. They’re the perfect, slightly crunchy snack or dinner side.

Cinnamon Treat:  Cut sweet potato in half. Use about a tsp of butter or margarine and top with cinnamon (and sugar if you really enjoy sweet.) Heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.

‘Italian’ Melt: Poke holes in potato and heat in the stove or microwave. Then, cut in half and scoop out a few tablespoons of the “insides.” Top with goat cheese (mozzarella or cheddar may also work well)  oregano, garlic and pepper. Heat in the stove for  1- minutes at 400. Delicious!
