SWEET AND SPICY SWEET POTATO FRIES

I love the combination of these flavors too because the chipotle chili powder gives the sweet potatoes a good spicy kick while the oregano has a nice savory element and the brown sugar not only sweetens everything up, but caramelizes the fries so that they have an even better crisp.  Now if you’re absolutely anti-sugar then that’s okay too!  Simply omit the brown sugar altogether because these spices still taste incredible.  I just personally prefer this sweet/spicy/salty combo and don’t mind a few extra calories since I don’t make sweet potato fries very often.  We’ll even use this seasoning on roasted {cubed} sweet potatoes or you could even step outside the box and make some sweet potato chips!  More on those later…
