I cut the recipe back to 2 servings, sliced the sweet potato a bit thinner than regular fries so I baked them at 400 for 25 minutes. They came out nice and crisp. We enjoyed the spice combination - This recipe will have a repeat performance Thanks MrsEl for posting it

These are outstanding!!! Since I started trying to cook healthier meals for my self and my family I have been looking for alternatives to regular potatoes. As I read sweet potatoes are less starchy and have more fiber. Most of the recipes I have found involve lots of brown sugar, butter and marshmallows. Which I think cancels out the nutritional benefits you’d get from the potato. Also I’m not really crazy about sweets and wondered does a savory recipe for the sweet potato really exist? And lo and behold I stumbled onto your wonderful recipe. I have made this MANY , MANY times and they always turn out delicious! I have substituted chili powder whenever I run out of cumin with equal results. Thanks for a savory alternative to sweet potatoes!

Love the recipe! I just needed to slice them much larger than I thought & leave them in the oven longer to crisp.

These were great as an alternative to regular fries with a burger. I only had about 1/2 tbsp paprika left so I added 1/2 tbsp hot chilli powder. Thanks for sharing!

I love to cut my oven fries really thin so they get nice and crispy! I enjoyed the flavors of paprika and cumin. Thanks!

My friends loved this to snack on while playing games. And it's true — even people who normally loathe sweet potatoes enjoyed this. We used the lighter colored, less sugary sweet potatoes. We cut them in wedges/chunks rather than strips, because it was easier, and dusted some just with chili powder.

I've often served sweet potatoes as 'fries', but this combination of spices really hit the spot! For some reason, paprika had never occured to me — I usually use cayenne. Big thumbs up for finding a great way to do an old favorite!

i tried this on my family, as an add-on to our dinner. they seemed soggy so maybe I didn't get them crisp enough. I will try again; maybe i didn't slice them thin enough.

This recipe turned out great! I cook with a convection oven and put the timer on 35 minutes. Next time I will leave the fries in a bit longer as they did not turn out as crisp as I would have liked to have seen them.
