Rosemary Sweet Potato Steak Fries

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into steak fry-sized pieces
• 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic (or you can use pre-package minced garlic, like I did. shown in the ingredients picture)
• 1 1/2 dried rosemary
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a large glass, or plastic bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and salt.
3. Arrange in a single layer, not touching, on a large nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
4. Turn the potato pieces and bake 10-15 minutes longer, or until tender inside. (I had my fries in the oven, on the second side, for 8 minutes and as you can see they were a little burnt. I will say that they were super delish when I tried them as I was flipping them over to bake on the second side. If you prefer your fries on the soft side then I wouldn't even put them back in to bake on the second side. Next time I will only bake them on the second side for 4-5 minutes. I would suggest checking them after that amount of time if you try this recipe.)

*I made these sweet-potato fries to serve with turkey burgers. The recipe came from my Biggest Loser Family cookbook. I highly recommend the entire book.
