Sweet Potato "Fries"

Recipe by Ellie Krieger (Healthy Appetite)

1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled (2 medium potatoes)
1 tbsp canola oil (I drizzled it on, probably used more like 2 or 3 tbsp)
1/2 tsp salt
Cooking spray

**I also added cinnamon and nutmeg (not part of the original recipe, but gave the fries a delicious flavor.**

Directions:
1. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick matchsticks and toss with oil, salt, and any other spices you add.  Spray baking sheet with spray.  Arrange in a single layer and bake until the fries are tender & crisp, about 30 minutes.

I baked them for this time, and they stayed soft not crisp.  So do not expect a crunchy fry, but they were absolutely delicious.
