Sweet Potato Fries
Now that my boys can manage to pick food up and get it to their mouths, I'm always on the lookout for good finger food options. These have been a big hit. Theo can hold them and take bites. Will has a tendency to want to shove the whole thing in his mouth, so I break the fries up for him.
Ingredients
sweet potatoes
olive oil
cinnamon
ground ginger
peel sweet potatoes and cut into "fries." I found cutting them into relatively thick fries works best for withstanding the tight baby grip that can quickly turn the fries into mush.
Toss in olive oil and add a bit of cinnamon and ground ginger. I think nutmeg would also be tasty, but I haven't tried it yet.
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. I like to take them out as soon as they are cooked through so they are not mushy (again, they need to stand up to grabby little fingers!)
