Sweet Potatoes are very rich in vitamins, minerals, iron, antioxidants, beta carotene and have natural sugar in it. All my while I have eaten it as a roasted sweet potato snacks or make halwa from it during winters season in Delhi. This time I have tried Baked Sweet Potato Sticks.
As my little one has started weaning and exploring the new variety of food. Thought of preparing something which i easy to grab and handy for her to hold on. Thanks to the variety of gadgets available these days where we can explore different ways of cooking.
Ingredients
Sweet Potato-1
Salt
Water
Olive Oil
Method
– Soak Sweet potato in a water filled pan and little salt for sometime( it removes the extra starch as we do for normal potato).
– Drain them and let it dry a bit.
– I have not added anything to sweet potato sticks as i was basically preparing for kids but we can add spices or herbs for extra flavours.
– Take olive oil and drizzle it on sweet potato mixing them nicely.
– In a preheated oven on 200 c for 20 minutes just turn them after 10 minutes otherwise they will start to burn.
Your baked sweet potato sticks are ready. A healthy snacks for kids and family to munch on.
hi do you steam 1st the sweet potato
Durga. .I haven't steam them just thinly cut it and soak in cold water. Some people prefer to put them in boiling water and then pat dry it.
wow, looks yummy! another sweet potato dish I like is to toss them in malt candy/honey syrup. I'm sure kids will love it too!
I am sure that combination will be a hit with kids.
We love sweet potato fries! Sometimes i add herbs and sometimes I sprinkle sugar.
Thats a lovely idea to do it. May be i can try next time.
This one is always a blockbuster at home. We usually put a dash of cinnamon powder to our sweet potato fries.
Cinnamon tastes heavenly and a great combo too.
This is much healthier than buying the ones from the fast food, right? Thank you for sharing this at least, we can try a different afternoon snack from now on. Who would have thought it's that simple to prepare? 🙂
I also tried this one for the same reason so that kids can munch something healthier at home.
Oh, thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. I'll try it out and will use my AirFryer instead 🙂
Even i want to do this using Airfryer but don't have one at home.
I agree that this is healthier than fast food and this doesnt have amy preservatives
Yes definitely healthier 🙂
This is very good and healthy. You can also be imaginative with the sauce if you want to complement its taste.
Thanks Fred.. Since kids love to munch like this only so didnt gave a thought about the sauce yet.
i love sweet potato! i make these every now again. they are delish
You did make that look simple! My kids don't like sweet potato though – their savoury taste buds prefer potatoes instead! I'd love to try them though.
OMG! I use the exact same recipe to make my sweet potato sticks. we be recipe sisters.
We loved sweet potatoes as our snacks when we were kids. It's also healthy and really tasty.
We get a variety as well from using just the normal potato all the time.
I am a sweet potato boy as my late dad used to call me. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'll let my wife prepare one for me.
I like bake sweet potato its take better, fluffy and sweeter compared with fries. Plus I can eat it at it is without any sauce.
It looks fatty.
YUMMS! I love potatoes and sweet potatoes! Especially when they're baked, feels like an healthier snack than chips 🙂
You can add sour plum powder to add and enhance the flavours~ It will taste delicious and being out the sweetness of the sweet potato sticks~
Easy to cook and healthy to munch on with the kids.- KarenT
