Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries - SRC

Secret Recipe ClubIt seems like a long time since I posted for the Secret Recipe Club.  I enjoy it a great deal and when I don't have a blog to search through looking for my pick of a recipe, I am looking forward to my next assignment.

A special thank you to Suzanne, leader of Team B.  I can't imagine the logistics that go into scheduling our secret recipe blogs.

This month, lucky me got Amy's Cooking Adventures.  Yes, Amy has wonderful recipes but  I am in love with are her two adorable sons.  It must be a delight to cook for these two darlings.

Amy, like me, did not have extensive experience cooking in the kitchen, as a child and in fact, she was already a Mom before she discovered her desire to make healthier and more appealing food, for the family.  If you visit, you will tell by her photos, she has accomplished this.

I selected her Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries.  I had difficulty making the crust and that may be because I had to sub in sweet potato chip crumbs for the breading.  The photo may not look beautiful but I can tell you that the baked fries are delicious and a real treat.  Check Amy's blog for a much better photo - the way they are supposed to look. Thanks Amy!



Crispy Sweet Potato Fries (adapted)
An Amy Original

Ingredients:

4 medium sweet potatoes, cut into sticks
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon water
½ cup sweet potato chip crumbs
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil


Method:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a rimmed cookie sheet with cooking spray.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and water.

In another shallow bowl, stir together sweet potato chip crumbs, parmesan, cayenne,  & black pepper.

Dredge the cut sweet potatoes through the egg mixture. Allow the excess to drip off, then add to the crumb mixture, turning until completely coated. Place the coated fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray with olive oil.

Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fries are browned and crisp.

Eat and enjoy.  Check out our other secret recipe participants below.    Linked to See Ya in the Gumbo.

    Will have to try these. We love sweet potato fries but my one attempt to make them was a flop. These however look amazing!

    I like baked sweet potato fries, but I can't ever seem to get them crispy. Will have to try them this way. Thanks for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo.

    I love sweet potato fries and just recently heard about the idea of breading them in chips before baking. Can't wait to try!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
