Sweet Potato & Zucchini Fries

I love the taste of homemade sweet potato fries, however, I don't make them very often. You see, I live with the world's pickiest eaters ever! They don't like to try new things, they don't care for vegetables, and one will hardly touch a piece of meat, so they all make meal planning a pure pain in the rear.

So, when I make sweet potato fries I always throw in some plain ol' white potatoes to please everyone else and here is how I make them!

Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

sweet potatoes

white potatoes

olive oil

parsley

McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning

(You can use any of your favorite spices in place of this.)

Wash the potatoes.

Peel if you wish.

Slice into french fry sticks or wedges

Place in large bowl and drizzle olive oil over them.

Toss them around good so that they all get covered in oil.

Place on a greased baking sheet.

Sprinkle seasoning over top of them.

Bake in oven at 425.

Bake 15 minutes and then flip them over.

Bake another 15-30 minutes.

Check on them every so often so that you don't burn them.

The cooking time varies depending on the amount that I am making.

I have fooled my kids before with the zucchini fries. I placed them on the table along with the potato fries and they ate them and liked them.

Italian bread crumbs

Parmesan cheese

oregano

2 egg whites

I usually just toss the ingredients into a bowl so I don't have the measurements to share. Sorry!

Wash & peel zucchini.

Cut into french fry sticks & set aside.

Mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan and the spices together and set aside.

In another bowl,beat the egg whites till frothy.

Dip zucchini sticks in the egg white and then roll in crumbs.

Place on well greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 450 degrees for 7 minutes or till crunchy.
