Wash, rinse, pat dry, and cut unpeeled sweet potatoes into desired shapes.
Spread evenly on a large parchment-paper lined baking pan (I use a cast iron skillet)..
Brush them with a light layer of organic extra-virgin olive oil, salt & pepper, herbs.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until crisp and tender.
Add salt, pepper, nutritional yeast to taste.
Serve hot with dip of choice.
Deep-Fried Option
Wash, rinse, pat dry, and cut unpeeled sweet potatoes into desired shapes. Bring oil to high heat in the fryer pot and drop some in so they're well-spaced. The oil should be hot enough that they sizzle instantly upon submersion.
Fry for 8-12 minutes until tender and crispy, turning/adjusting frequently to keep them from sticking together. Careful not to break them when turning.
When they're golden and crispy, remove with the tongs to parchment paper, patting some of the oil off with a paper towel, then add the next batch.
Caution should be applied with the oil; it only takes a drop to burn yourself.
Add herbs and spices to taste and serve with choice of dips.
Oil-Free Option
For oil-free fries just follow the baked recipe, but omit the oil in the baste. You can use simple dry herbs or mix them with the baste sans oil.
You can also use an Air Fryer for French fries and more.
