Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

I'm kind of embarrassed to say I've never enjoyed sweet potato fries. I recall trying them in the past but I don't remember asking for more. I avoided sweet potatoes in general, I just didn't like my potatoes sweet. Well let me just say, I am so thankful my taste buds have changed!!

Sweet potatoes mixed with spice and salt...sweet...salty...spicy....perfection? Possibly.

I can't wait to grow some of these fine wonders. Why bother? For starters, they are high in Vitamin  B6, C, D, contain iron and have a good source of magnesium. Did you know magnesium has been referred to help with relaxation and stress? Check out 9 reasons to love sweet potatoes below and let the benefits speak for themselves!
