Sweet Potato Fries

Fries.

If you a plant-based individual then you probably a fry connoisseur at this point. I can’t even tell you how many different versions of fries I’ve had. I’m talkin from dine-in restaurants, fast food places, the frozen grocery section, etc.

I eats fries my guy.

If you eat fries like this we can’t be friends

Naturally, after eating several different versions it only makes sense that I decide to make my own. I remember when my mom first bought some sweet potato fries I tried em and thought they were the nastiest things on earth.

Fast forward some years and now that’s the only kind of fries I make. Regular potatoes is just feel basic now. You need to be bougie.

I’ve made a few different versions of these. I’ve experimented with makin them on the sweeter side by adding some cinnamon and sugar (definitely try that out) but this version hit different so I had to write up a recipe about it.

Try it one time for the one time and come to the bougie side my friend.
