Cajun sweet potato fries

I got this recipe out of La Dolce Vegan, which is probably one of my favourite cookbooks. It’s part of a series filled with a nice variety of recipes. This one here is simple and tasty. Double the Cajun spice as a single tablespoon is never enough. For convenience, just make a large batch and set it aside for recipes like this.

Recipe

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cajun spice
    • 24 parts paprika
    • 12 parts thyme
    • 12 parts oregano
    • 4 parts garlic powder
    • 4 parts salt
    • 1 part black pepper
    • 1 part cayenne pepper
  1. Cut the sweet potato into wedges and mix with the rest of the ingredients until well coated.
  2. Spread out evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
  3. Flip the fries and bake for another 10 minutes or until sufficiently crispy.
