Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 F
Cut the ends off the sweet potatoes and peel. Slice into steak fries. Place in a large bowl. Toss with the olive oil.

Sprinkle with 1 t. of Creole seasoning; toss thoroughly with sweet potatoes. Taste and add more if needed. Add black pepper to taste.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.

Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until fries are tender and beginning to crisp and brown on the edges. You can turn them once halfway through the cooking if desired (I usually don't bother).
