Yummy! We love these. After 30 minutes, I stir them one more time, turn off the oven, and put them back in for about 5 more minutes. This helps them crisp up a little more, like "real" fries. After I take them out for the last time, I give them a final shake all over of sea salt.10/01/09

I make this dish often to accompany turkey burgers. It is really delicious and gives the sweet potatoes a great kick. Delicious with tzatziki sauce!06/11/09
