Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet Potatoes have become a staple in my home since my son started having solids. Before that, I didn't even turn my eyes on this root(tuber). But once he started having solids, tried mashed sweet potatoes and he loved it.. Since then it has always been in my grocery list, and also on his plate in different forms. Right now, his favorite form is fries, so that he can bite,chew and essentially play with it. 

This recipe is too easy to make. All I need is some essential ingredients  which I am sure to have in my  pantry. And I bake it since its more healthier and also faster to prepare. I try to vary the spices I put in the fries so that he doesn't get bored. And so far its working perfectly well.

Notes to Remember

* Make sure to check the sweet potatoes after first 15 min and if its not done ,bake for another 5 more min till its done.

* Depending on the size of sweet potatoes and individual spice level, can increase or decrease the amt of spices added. For me, it all depends what I feel at the moment.
* Oven temperatures might vary,so adjust the baking time accordingly.

And once I started making this, cant just stop eating it too. And sometimes if my boy doesn't eat it, I make sure that I finish all of it..
