Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 good sized organic sweet potatoes cut into French Fry slices or small cubes
  • 1 Tbs coconut oil
  • 1 Tbs curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp of Himalayan sea salt or sea salt
  • 2 Tbs of arrowroot flour/starch can omit, just makes them crispier

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350.
  2. Put the chopped sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl and add the coconut oil and mix well with your hands.
  3. Add in the curry powder and salt and mix well again with your hands. (yes, it's messy)
  4. Add the arrowroot starch to the potato mixture and mix again.
  5. Spread out on a baking sheet lined with unbleached, chlorine-free baking paper.
  6. Bake for around 1 hr 15- 1hr 30 minutes flipping halfway, until the outsides are somewhat crispy. (see notes to speed up time)

Notes

Unrefined coconut oil has a smoke point of 350, meaning it's best to cook with it at 350 or lower. I know it's not ideal, but on days you don't have forever, just cook them around 400-420 depending on your oven and they'll be done sooner.
A perforated pan speeds up cooking time as well as gets them a little crispier.
Cut them around the same size so they bake more evenly. Thicker fries will take longer to cook.
I like the arrowroot starch to get more crisp, but I've made this many times without. I usually cut the potatoes into small cubes for this recipe when I omit the starch.
You could also turmeric and/or cinnamon to the curry powder as well. Try these with chili powder, cayenne, and garlic powder in place of the curry powder when you want a little more spice!
If you are using extra large sweet potatoes, up the seasonings, coconut oil and arrowroot starch a bit so it's all well seasoned.
