Cinnamon Baked Sweet Potato Fries
On most weekends, soon after getting up, I usually bake a big batch Sweet Potato fries which I leave out all day for us to graze on. Some days I like to vary it up with different spices, the simple addition of Cinnamon goes so well with the Sweet Potato. I preheat the oven while I chop and prepare the sweet potato, then pop it in, set the timer and go about the morning.
