Sweet potatoes are a low glycemic load food which means your body doesn't get flooded with sugar and have to increase a lot of insulin to get the sugar out of the blood.


It also means your body will attempt to burn more of the calories you eat for energy rather than trying to store them as fat which is what happens when your insulin levels are elevated.


Who says we can’t have French fries?


Sweet Potato Fries


1.5 pounds of sweet potatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cinnamon


Peel the skin from the sweet potatoes and cut sweet potatoes into half inch strips. Place them in a large ziploc or sealable bag. Mix the other ingredients into a small bowl and stir well. Pour into the sealable bag and close.

Shake the bag to mix up the liquid mixture amongst the sweet potato strips.

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and spread the fries onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray or use foil to line the baking sheet. Place fries into the oven for 30 minutes. Spread the fries around and mix them up every 10 minutes during the 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and serve.
