Like my fries? These could be yours to chow down on when prepping for a show- and NO I'm not joking!!!!This recipe is 100% contest prep friendly- but of course here comes my disclaimer- CONTACT YOUR NUTRITIONIST OR COACH FIRST to make sure this complies!!!
Don't go whipping up sweet potato fries without asking permission first!
Most competitors are allowed sweet potatoes on their diet, however plain baked sweet potatoes get old, fast. If you're a french fry gal (and most of us out there are) then this is a recipe for you! Trust me, these can be a lifesaver in prepping for a show and are incredibly easy to make!
You will need the following;
- Your alloted amount of sweet potato ( by this I mean if you're eating 2 ounces, grab your two ounces sweet potato (raw), if you're eating 4, grab 4, just make sure your sweet potato is raw (UNCOOKED!)
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. If your oven is on the dull side, try 450 or you'll be waiting forever for these to be done.
- 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil mixed with 1 TBSP water (combine in a spray bottle and shake up!)
- Pinch red pepper (if spicy isn't your thing use regular pepper)
- Pinch salt
Lightly spritz a piece of aluminum foil with PAM (LIGHTLY, Pam has calories so don't go coating it). Slice your potato length wise into "fry" looking pieces and arrrange on foil. Spritz with the olive oil water mixture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to desired taste. Place in oven for approx. 30 minutes although you will need to check these. I like mine super well done, so I leave them in longer. If you like fries NOT well done, check them at 25 minutes and assess from there!
