HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTATO FRIES

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Wash 2 large sweet potatoes under cold running water, scrubbing well with a scrubber to get rid of any dirt (there’s no need to peel them)


2. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthways, cut each half in half lengthways, then each piece in half again so you end up with 8 wedges


3. Add to a large mixing bowl, then sprinkle over a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and ½ a teaspoon of sweet smoked paprika


4. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then toss everything together to coat


5. Spread out into a single layer in a large baking tray, then bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through


6. Leave to sit for a couple of minutes (this will make it easier to remove them from the tray), then use a fish slice to transfer them to a serving dish


7. These are perfect served with anything from grilled chicken to homemade burgers, or served in a big bowl for a party snack.
