Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Baked sweet potato fries are my newest obsession and favorite treat. They are gluten-free friendly, paleo friendly, and well, just darn delicious. And because they are sweet potatoes AND baked instead of fried, there's no guilt involved. Just a plate full of yumminess.

 

 

Warning, they are extremely addicting so if you do decide to make these don't say I didn't give you a heads up.

 

 

What you'll need:

2 small or 1 large sweet potato washed

1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil

Sea salt and cinnamon to taste

 

 

What to do:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Wash your sweet potatoes and cut them into long thin strips. The thinner they are, the crispier they get. Put them in a large bowl and add the coconut oil and gently toss the sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place your fries evenly on the tray. Sprinkle sea salt and cinnamon evenly over your fries. Bake for 20 minutes turning once about halfway through. Let cool (this was pure torture for me). Enjoy!

 

These were gone in a matter of minutes. I have a feeling this is going to be a regular in my weekly rotation. Yum!

Paleo Coconut Flour Bread Recipe

I made this paleo coconut flour bread the other day and I can't stop eating it. I put a little bit of butter or coconut oil on top after heating it up in the microwave -- so good! The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons of raw honey but I omitted it from my recipe. I didn't miss it one bit, but if you've got a bit of a sweet tooth, you can add that back in to yours.

What you'll need:
3/4 cup     coconut flour
1 tsp     baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup     coconut oil, softened
1 Tbsp     cinnamon
1 tsp     vanilla extract
2 Tbsp     raw apple cider vinegar
6 large eggs, separated

What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a standard loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix together coconut flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
3. Add in softened coconut oil and stir till well blended and smooth.
4. Separate the eggs, beat egg whites till stiff and set aside. Add egg yolks, vanilla and apple cider vinegar to the coconut flour mixture.
5. Quickly fold in egg whites to the mixture.
6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.
7. Bake for about 40 minutes.
