It's summertime and nothing is better than grilling out and eating outside. I sometimes struggle with what I can make as a clean side dish to go along with our summertime meals. I have always thought that making homemade fries would be difficult or that they would only taste good if you fried them. Let me tell you, I officially stand corrected. I am in love with these sweet potato fries! It is quite possible that I could eat them at most meals. Good thing they are packed with a lot of fiber and are a great clean alternative to their greasy counterparts. So, if you are like me and looking for an easy side dish try whipping some of these beauties up and your family will love you.
