Seasoned Sweet Potato Fries

October 6, 2018 · Speshyl · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Sweet Potatoessssssss *Oprah voice*. When I make sweet potato fries, I don’t know how to act. I say this because one minute I’m staring at a bowl full of them, and the next I’m looking at the same bowl, now empty, with crumbs all over my mouth. Every time I make them, I can never seem to make enough. Lets not even talk about sharing, because that word is not in my vocabulary when it comes to these. The natural sweetness from the potatoes, and the savoriness from just three seasonings pull this snack together. I season the fries after they come out of the oven so that the salt doesn’t draw out moisture while cooking, causing them to steam instead of becoming crisp and crunchy. You wont be able to stop reaching for more. Perfect for kids, adults, and everyone in between. Enjoy!

Scale

Ingredients

  • 5 Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Veagetable Oil ((or enough to coat your fries))
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F degrees.
  2. Cut up your sweet potatoes into fries, about 1/2 an inch thick. Make sure all of the fries are relatively the same size so they can all cook at the same rate.
  3. Coat your fries with the vegetable oil, making sure every one is covered, and place on a baking rack or baking sheet (the rack allows them to cook evenly on all sides). Make sure there is space between each fry, they shouldn’t touch.
  4. Place your fries in the oven for 40 minutes.
  5. After 40 minutes, remove your fries and transfer into a bowl. Add the salt pepper and garlic powder to the bowl of fries and toss so that all the fries have an even coat of seasoning. Serve.

A little chocolate work for your feed 🤩 Here, I A little chocolate work for your feed 🤩 Here, I’m using a slab of marble to cool down some chocolate ganache. The marble is a naturally cold surface, so it helps the ganache firm up enough to be piped out of a piping bag.

Last night, I dined at Lido Harlem, an Italian res Last night, I dined at Lido Harlem, an Italian restaurant located on Harlem’s Restaurant Row. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the food was incredible. This restaurant is woman owned, and the executive chef is also a woman, Chef Serena Bass (this made me stan even harder!). Here’s what we ate:

Antipasti:
• Salmon Fritters with Chipotle Aioli
• Fried Calamari with Chipotle Aioli
• Grilled Crostino with Burrata, Roasted Pears, Prosciutto, Honey & Sage

Primi/ Pasta:
• Gnocchi with Truffle Butter, Parmesan, Guanciale, Cream & Fresh Sage
• Fresh Squid Ink Linguine with Scallops, Shrimp, Calamari, Tomato Sauce, Chili, Garlic & Orange Zest

Secondi:
• Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Sweet Corn, Roasted New Potatoes, Thyme, Chilies, Cream & Basil Pesto

Dolci:
• Flourless Molten Chocolate Lava Cake with Salted Caramel Gelato

Drinks:
• Rosso Sangria

Everything was amazing so it’s hard to pick favorites, but the Grilled Salmon, the Truffle Butter Gnocchi & the Grilled Crostino with Burrata and Roasted Pears are definitely the three dishes I would come back for over and over again!

I’m already planning my return trip for their brunch 🤤

Oh hey, it’s me! This week at school was a littl Oh hey, it’s me! This week at school was a little difficult because we dove into the world of chocolate tempering. This is probably the most frustrated I’ve been in school thus far. 

Chocolate is very... temperamental. (Ha! See what I did there?) I ended up ruining my whole batch of chocolate that I had spent twenty+ minutes tempering because I went over the temperature threshold by ONE DEGREE. At that point I wanted to “pack my knives and go” (Padma voice), and I did because class was pretty much over by that point 😂

Yesterday, I went in with a better attitude, because I’m not gonna lie i was having a pretty crappy day on Wednesday & I think that energy carried over into my work. So I tried again with positive mindset & it worked!!! My chocolate set up perfectly. This taught me a lot about being okay with accepting my failures and knowing that they’re not fixed experiences. Failure is so much better than getting things right the first time, because it gives you an opportunity for growth.

*Pictured here is me piping out ganache (which is the one thing I got right on Wednesday) for the center of the truffles that I finished yesterday. Swipe to see the finished Ginger Truffles covered in a dark chocolate shell with Rice Krispies*

Danishes! We spent 3 days making these danishes & Danishes! We spent 3 days making these danishes & they we’re definitely worth it. The first day we focused on making and laminating the danish dough (which is rolling a block of butter into the dough & book folding the dough to create tons of layers). The second day we continued to roll out our dough into a thin sheet & cut out 5x5 inch squares to put our fillings on/in. We finally baked them yesterday, and they were finished by brushing with nappage & dusting with powdered sugar.

Pizza! We finished assembling our pizzas in school Pizza! We finished assembling our pizzas in school yesterday & it was such a fun process. The pizza dough was made on Tuesday and left to ferment overnight. I used fresh yeast in the dough, which sort of resembles a block of tofu. I’m usually used to using dry active yeast or instant yeast, so it was cool to try something new.

I topped my pizzas with mozzarella, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions, and fresh basil 😋

What are your favorite pizza toppings?
