Preparation

Low

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 12 mm thick slices. Then, cut the slices into sticks of 12 mm thickness (they should look like French fries). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (400 F), place a baking sheet inside the oven for 5 minutes. Place the sweet potato in a large bowl and coat with oil and cumin. Mix well. Put the sweet potato on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes. Every 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir well. Once the sweet potato fries are golden and soft, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the sweet potato with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, a little pepper, and chopped cilantro.
