Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
Prepare the sweet potato:
Peel the skin off the sweet potato. Cut the ends off then slice it down the middle from top to bottom.
Cut the potato into long "french fry" pieces. You should have approximately 50-60 from a large sweet potato.
Assembly:
Add the cut sweet potato pieces to a large mixing bowl.
Add the avocado oil and toss the sweet potatoes until the avocado oil is evenly distributed and all pieces are covered.
Add each of the ingredients for the seasoning to the bowl of cut sweet potatoes one at a time (add the nutritional yeast last) and toss each time making sure the seasonings are evenly distributed and all pieces are covered before adding the next seasoning.
Adjust the amount of seasonings to your preference.
Place the seasoned sweet potato pieces onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake at 425 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven, flip over all the fries and return the pan to the oven for approximately 5-10 more minutes. Oven times will vary, but you want them to be slightly crisp and take care not to burn them.
Best served hot from the oven.
Notes
*Nutritional Yeast: You will need to omit this ingredient if you need the recipe to be 100% Medical Medium compliant.**Cayenne Pepper: There is some confusion as to whether cayenne pepper is a lectin-free ingredient. However, I have attached a screen-shot in the body of the post with a quote from Dr. Gundy saying it is lectin-free approved. If you need to avoid nightshades in general, for reasons other than lectin-related, just omit the cayenne pepper from the recipe.Avocado Oil: I always use avocado oil when baking something in the oven at high heat, but you can substitute with organic extra-virgin olive oil if you prefer.Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference but it can always be substituted with sea salt.Serving Size: If you use a large sweet potato, the recipe makes approximately 50-60 fries, or 4 servings at approximately 12 fries each.
