CHILI SWEET POTATO FRIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees f. and line a large baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch fries, evenly as shown and place them into a large bowl.
• Sprinkle fries with pepper and garlic powder, then drizzle with oil. Toss well to get all of your fries nicely coated.
• Arrange in a single layer, with some space in between (so they can crisp up), on the baking sheets and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once during roasting time.
• Meanwhile, heat a large (lidded) skillet over medium heat then add in your beef, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently for about 6-7 minutes, or until meat starts to brown while breaking up the meat.
• Add in seasonings, chipotle peppers, corn, black beans and diced tomatoes then gently stir to combine.
• Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to develop and chili to thicken. Taste test, and add a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.
• Sprinkle fries with sea salt when they come out of the oven.
• Serve the sweet potato fries topped with your beef chili and any extra toppings of your choice...serving suggestion shown in the pictures!
• I divided up the fries between 4 separate plates then let the kids top their own.

Steps:

• Toss 2 pounds sweet potatoes (cut into wedges) with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons each brown sugar and salt, 1/4 teaspoon each cumin and chili powder, and a pinch of cayenne. Roast cut-side down on a baking sheet in a 425 oven until crisp, 30 minutes, turning once.
