Nathan is officially gone for a few days, so I am enjoying those meals that he doesn’t like. First off are these sweet potato sticks. He is not a huge sweet potato fan, so I hardly ever use them if he is in town.
These are deceptively filling. This is all I ate for dinner, and I was plenty full.
Baked Sweet Potato Sticks
Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 1 tbs chili powder
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel sweet potato and cut into french fries size pieces.
- In a medium bowl mix olive oil and chili powder. Add in sweet potatoes and toss using hands.
- Place the sweet potato sticks on the parchment paper. Cook for approximately 40 minutes.
Grade: B+
Comments: These were really good, but they definitely are meant to be a side dish. If I had been hungrier I probably would have made a grilled cheese too. I ate them with ketchup which seemed to be a great idea. All in all they were very easy to make, and like I said already they were so filling.

Those look yummy. I like to eat sweet potato chips with sweet chilli sauce mixed with sour cream. Weird I know…
I love sweet potatoes done any old way…and these look so good! I will have to try this recipe soon. Thank you for sharing!
My husband hates sweet potatoes too – what is it with these men!?! I might have to make these when he goes away in two weeks. YUM. I’m thinking of making two batches – one for dinner and one for dessert (cinnamon & sugar).
