Sweet Potato Sticks with Homemade Ketchup




INGREDIENTS:
sticks

• 2 8-oz sweet potatoes, peeled
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves, crumbled
• 1 tbsp safflower oil
• 1/8 tsp sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare sticks: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut each potato in half crosswise. Cut each half into 1/2-inch slices, then cut slices into 1/2-inch strips (to resemble French fries). Place potatoes in a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cumin and oregano. Drizzle oil over potatoes. Using a silicone spatula, toss potatoes gently yet thoroughly to coat. Sprinkle paprika mixture evenly over potatoes and toss gently.
3. Arrange potatoes in a thin layer on a large, foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
4. Remove potatoes from oven and sprinkle evenly with salt.
