SPICED SWEET POTATOES

Fix-it And Enjoy-it Cookbook
by Phyllis Pellman Goo

Makes 4 servings
Prep Time: 10-15 minutes
Baking Time: 30-40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 tsp. coriander seeds
• 1/2 tsp. fennel seeds
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. dried hot red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Ib. medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
 

Directions

1. Coarsely grind all spices in coffee/spice grinder. (This yields a potent flavor, releasing the oils just before they're added to the other ingredients.) Add salt.

2. Cut potatoes lengthwise into 1"-wide wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl. Toss them with the vegetable oil and spice mixture.

3. When well coated, place them in a single layer on a greased baking sheet.

4. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Turn them over and bake another 15 minutes, or until soft. Check the potatoes ever 5 minutes after you've turned them over to be sure they don't burn.
