Louisiana Hot n' Spicy Sweet Potato Fries + Pumpkin Seeds

Hey friends,

 

Just stopping in to share some recipes from the weekend. Figured if you haven't done so already, that you could play around in the kitchen and prepare for the rest of your week! (It's still early, ya kno')

 

So Saturday was a definite experiment day in the kitchen. I'm trying to spice up my meals (no pun intended ;) ) so I wanted to cook something 'meal-worthy' and something for a 'post-meal snack'. I said at the beginning of November that I wanted to branch out and try new things in the kitchen and Saturday morning marked the perfect day for that!

Louisiana Hot n' Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

sweet potato wedges (costco, or you could cut your own. I got lazy)

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees

2. Add sweet potato to a large mixing bowl

3. Add olive oil and egg whites over the sweet potato and shake around

4. Sprinkle Epicure seasoning and sea salt and shake

Omg, I planned on spreading these fries amongst three meals. Ya, it didn't go as planned and I ate them in to sittings and my god, they were absolutely delicious. Like the most delicious thing I've ever cooked.
