Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°F. (For more crispiness, preheat your oven to 500°F.)
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut off the ends. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then, if they are very long, in half crosswise. Cut each piece into wedges. Add two tablespoons of coconut oil and a little Parmesan cheese along with assorted herbs; oregano, parsley, rosemary and sea salt. Coconut oil adds subtle fragrance and helps create a caramelized flavor. Place on baking pan and trick to baking fries is to not have them touch each other.
Bake for a total of 25 to 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn over all of the sweet potato pieces. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are well browned. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
