Weight Watchers Spicy Sweet Potato Oven Fries - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb uncooked sweet potato, cut into 4-inch long x 1/2-inch thick fries
2 sprays cooking spray
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder, chipotle variety
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon table salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 medium fresh lime, cut into wedges

Preparation

Soak cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour; drain.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Coat a nonstick cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Arrange fries on prepared pan, packed tightly together; drizzle with oil and turn potatoes until fries are well-coated with oil.
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, turmeric, salt and sugar.
Sprinkle half of spice mixture over fries; flip fries and sprinkle with remaining spices.
Turn fries over several times to make sure spice mixture is evenly distributed.
Spread fries out and bake, turning once or twice during baking, until desired degree of doneness, about 25-32 minutes.
Serve with lime wedges and extra salt on the side, if desired.
Yield 1/4 of potatoes per serving.
