Please excuse any cheesy wording - I wrote this for tutus and turtles, but figured I might as well post it here too!
It's not much a recipe, but we love these, and they are really easy.
Most kids love French fries, and you can easily make a healthier version at home. One twist we love is using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. You can use both for a colorful combination or to help introduce the new look. Place a large baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Slice a few potatoes and/or sweet potatoes into long fry-shapes and place in a bowl. Toss with approx. 1/2 -1 tsp. olive oil and 1/2 tsp. salt or seasoned salt for a little kick. When the oven is heated, pull the baking sheet out, spray with a non-stick cooking spray and spread potatoes onto baking tray (Careful, it's hot!). Bake for approx. 45 minutes (This is based on whether you like your fries soft or crispy), flipping fries with a spatula a few times to prevent over-browning in spots. Taste and toss with a little more salt if needed. Serve with your favorite dip!

We make these all the time! And recently I found "fry sliced" sweet potatoes all ready to bake and eat at Costco. You've gotta love Costco. They come in a bag in the produce section (ours has a refridgerated section, I found it in there).
I also don't use any oil or butter (less calories). I spray the pan with cooking spray (they have olive oil cooking spray), and lightly spray the top of the potaotes with cooking spray. Then sprinkle them with salt after. I'm sure they taste better with oil, but we are used to them this way.
I love that you always make healthier variations of stuff. Thanks for the tips!
