After many, many failed attempts I finally figured out how to make crispy sweet potato fries! Seriously, no more soggy fries for me (or you)! The trick is coating them in arrowroot starch, baking them at a high enough temperature but not so high that they get burned, and making sure to leave space between the fries on your baking sheet.
Another trick is to add chili powder, which, when combined with the cinnamon, gives the fries a bit more grown up appeal, without making them too spicy for kids to eat. In fact, I taste-tested these on my kids, who devoured them in seconds, literally seconds, and then proceeded to ask for more, so I think we have a winner!
