This quick and healthy side dish takes just minutes to prepare! And as a bonus, it's an easy way to get the kids to eat their vegetables.

The recipe is actually good but I eliminated the splenda and the cinnamon. Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet and that's enough for me - 7/25/09

Have made sweet potato fries, but without any extra ingredients except spray fries with cooking spray and toss and spray pan with cooking spray. - 6/19/08

I have been making baked sweet potato fries for years, but I add crushed fresh garlic and/or garlic salt, chili powder, cumin, pepper in a ziploc bag with the olive oil, shake up to thoroughly coat the pieces, and then bake. I also have used "Caribbean Jerk" seasoning instead of the other spices. - 6/16/08

I just spritz mine with olive oil and bake plain. We love them. - 6/13/08

When I put this in the recipe calculator, I got fewer calories (about 94) and less sodium (about 2000) - not sure why. That's still a lot of sodium I can't have, so I'm going to try it with little or no salt. - 6/19/08

I make my sweet potato fries by just spraying them with EVoo spray and sprinkling them with garlic powder and whatever spices and/or hebs I'm in the mood for that day. I'd never add so much salt tho - wouldn't be good for my husband especially and any of us in general. - 6/13/08

splenda and salt not needed potatoes good on their own. Too much cinnamon. - 6/18/08

I love doing sweet potatoes this way but slicing the sweet potato and tossing with a little olive oil only. Works well with a regular potato too for oven french fries. - 7/25/09

Simple to make but too sweet and salty. Will definitely cut down on the amount of cinnamon and salt next time. - 5/29/09

I love sweet potato to begin with so this was very good. I added a bit of EVOO a pinch of pepper and added crushed garlic and mixed everything together and it tasted wonderful.. hubby and the kids really enjoyed them and we also ate the baked garlic which was very good. - 6/13/08

I cooked these at 425 degrees for 20 minutes and they were a little burnt. Still taste great but watch that they don't cook too long. - 6/22/09

i hope people understand that splenda is working against you . it makes you gain 3 time the pounds you gain from regular sugar! - 6/18/08

I spray the bottom of the pan and the top of the potatoes with Pam. It's one of our favorites. Haven't tried Splenda - 6/16/08

My way of making Sweet Potatoe 'Fries" is to do more of a 'home-fries'cut (chunky). Then tos with 1/4c EVOO and 1/8c/ Light Soy or Teriyaki and 1/8 t. Cayene; Bake at 425 for 20 -30 mins. I've also made these then cooled them and tossed with 1/4c. Balsamic vinegar for a salad in the summer!! - 6/15/08

I made this without the sugar or cinn. and used a ziplock bag with a small amt of EVOO and shook the cut up potatoes before placing in oven. Make them all the time. They don't need seasoning I don't think!
