A lot of our recipes come in mind when we are driving in the car to work. One day Lori wanted to make sweet potato fries using our spiralizer to make curly fries. We have never done it before, so we wanted to give it a shot.
We love using our spiralizer for making raw zucchini pasta dishes. We have used it to spiralize other veggies like carrots, parsnips, cucumber, etc., but never sweet potatoes. To our surprise is was pretty easy to do…a great arm workout, haha
By having the veggies cut in different ways really makes them taste different. Do you notice that? Certain way a veggie is cut makes it taste different, even though it is the same veggie!?!
This veggie filled sweet potato fries wrap was just want we needed -
- quick and easy meal
- healthy and balanced dish
- colorful and vibrant
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients:
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1/8 tsp cayenne (1/4 tsp if you like it hot)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Skin the sweet potatoes. Spiralize each potato. We used this spiralizer. Once both sweet potatoes are spiralized, place in a bowl and toss with coconut oil, cayenne, and cinnamon.
Place fries onto cookie tray and bake for about 30 minutes.
If you have a dehydrator and want to make these fries raw, place them onto mesh tray and dehydrate at 110 for 4-6 hours, to till desired texture is achieved.
Some of our fries got a little burnt, but overall felt they came out pretty good!
As the fries cooled, we grabbed some romaine leaves, carrots, tahini, hemp seeds, and sauerkraut.
We made up a batch of our 3 ingredient dressing (one of our favs!)
Sweet Potato Veggie Wrap
Ingredients:
- whole romaine lettuce leaves
- creamy spread
- sliced carrots, or whatever you got on hand
- batch of sweet potato fries
Directions:
Spread some of the creamy sauce inside each romaine leave, top with sliced carrots and curly sweet potato fries.
Then just roll it up and enjoy!
Any dark leafy green would work instead of romaine like collards or swiss chard.
We find romaine to taste perfect this time of year. It is light and refreshing! Anyone else agree?
These curly sweet potato fries wraps are the perfect summer time meal.
Twins Question: What is your favorite quick summer time meal? or snack? Have you ever made sweet potato curly fries?
Till next time,
Lori and Michelle

These looks delicious. I think I’m going to have to hunt down a spiralizer.
These look AMAZING! I’m literally borderline drooling. You knowwwwww I’d gobble those up! putting sauerkraut in there is such a great idea too!

THIS is one of my favorite summer eats – lettuce wraps! as it gets warmer, like everyone else I gravitate toward more fresh veggies and fruit in every meal… and lettuce wraps are always big with me!
these look vibrant and delicious – and very pretty! I love the idea of spiralizing for ‘fries’!

These look great! I really need to get a spiralizer since I love doing thinly sliced veggies and zucchini “pasta” – for now, I just ask my chef husband to do the fine chopping or have him teach me
I’ve never used a spiralizer, but it looks like a fun way to prepare veggies and potatoes. I’ve used a veggie peeler, maybe that would also work on potatoes, I’ll have to give it a try, this looks really delicious and right up my alley.

I love this!!! Reminds me of Arby’s fries…sort of…haha….
haha yep
im not sure my spiralizer could handle a sweet potato! hmmm…looks good though. i have the same one as you guys, so did it take long or was it hard to do?
Elise it can handle it!!! it does require more effort than zucchini, just takes a little more patience to turn the handle!!
What a great idea! Used to love Arby’s curly fries when I was a kid, this would be a much healthier alternative! Now I just need a spiralizer!

I just made this for lunch, and it was delicious! I didn’t have the ingredient on hand for the dressing, so I subbed in some hummus. Thank you for the wonderful lunch inspiration.
Leti awesome!! hummus is a great option!!
Ok, I was on the fence about getting a spiralizer, but not anymore! I HAVE to get one! This looks perfect and I know the boys will love it!

Oh my goodness! Now I need to get myself a spiralizer! This looks so amazing!! I literally want to make this right now! I guess I need to get shopping for a new kitchen appliance
I totally agree that veggies taste different when they are cut in different ways. It is a little weird I guess
Looks delicious – I really want to get a spiralizer, I never would have thought to use it on a sweet potato though!

thanks Liz
I want a spiralizer so bad! These look awesome. And yes, I agree the romaine lettuce rocks. I even love iceburg just for the crunch.
Taylor you will love a spiralizer if you get one, truly the best way to jazz up vegetables.
OMG-YUM! Never would have thought to make sweet potato curly fries. Now I have to get a spiralizer! These look delicious!
Looks delicious! The farmer’s markets by me have been overflowing with all sorts of fresh greens, and this recipe looks like a great way to utilize that produce.
I love my spiralizer and will certainly be trying this out!!!

Omigod – sweet potato curly fries?! You ladies are genius! This reminds me of these crispy onion strings my family used to get at restaurants (but I can’t really eat onions) – I can’t wait to make these

We did make the sweet potato part of it. My spirlizer makes it a bit thinner but it still worked. A few were burned but most were crispy. Great idea!
yay so happy to hear you liked them!
These is such an awesome idea, I love it, going to buy sweet potatoes to make it asap!
I have the same spiralizer you guys do and I love it too, it is sooo cool! Zucchini noodles is one of my favorite things (but I love raw zucchini in every single way too!)
Thanks for sharing, this is brilliant!
Ana
Oh. My. Goodness. these were AMAZING!!! I made them tonight and instead of the tahini sauce, I used left over almond ginger sauce. It was SOOOOO good!! thanks so much for the recipe!!
Lauren awesome!!! glad you liked it
