These Coconut Cinnamon Sweet Potato Fries are the perfect substitute for regular fries when you want to pack in a little extra nutrition and flavor! They are quick and easy to make and make the perfect snack or side dish.
As the weather cools down, I love these Coconut Cinnamon Sweet Potato Fries when I want something warming and a little bit sweet.
Like sweet potato pie in french fry form!
They are oven-baked to a crispy perfection without the need for lots of oil or frying. Perfect for a game-day snack, side dish, breakfast treat or anytime snack!
Coated with a layer of delicious finely shredded coconut, cinnamon, ginger and salt, (affiliate links) these fries have a slightly sweet, salty and spiced flavor! They are perfect without any added sugar, but if you love a cinnamon and sugar flavor, you can add a bit of coconut sugar (affiliate link) to the mix.
When slicing your sweet potatoes into strips, first cut the ends off so they are easier to slice. You can then stand the potato up on the flat end and cut lengthwise into slices, about 1/4 inch thick, before slicing them into matchstick pieces, depending on the size of your potatoes.
Spread your fries out well on the pan into a single layer to avoid excess moisture buildup in your oven. This will help to ensure the fries get nice and crisp on the outside. It is also helpful to try to avoid excess coconut mixture on the pan since it will burn easily.
Crispy Oven-Baked Coconut Cinnamon Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients
- 2 large or 4 small sweet potatoes trimmed and cut into about 1/4 inch thick strips
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/3 cup dried shredded coconut
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp coconut sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Place coconut, cinnamon, ginger, sea salt and coconut sugar if a sweeter fry is desired into a medium-sized bowl and whisk or stir to combine well.
- Place sweet potato slices in a large bowl and pour coconut oil over them to coat well.
- Pour coconut and spice mixture over the oiled sweet potato slices and toss well until all pieces are coated evenly.
