Asian Sweet Potato Fries

2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled
1 tbsp. favorite seasoning (cinnamon or Chinese five-spice powder*)
1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
3/4 cup optional dipping sauce (ketchup or plum sauce*)
vegetable oil cooking spray (no more than 1/2 tsp.)

With a sharp knife, cut sweet potatoes into strips three to four inches long and 1/4-inch thick.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and spread fries on it in one layer. Spray them lightly with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, stir together seasoning and sugar. Sprinkle this mixture on the fries, tossing gently.

Bake at 350F for 45-55 minutes, until fries are soft. Serve with ketchup or plum sauce for dipping, if desired.

*Available in the Asian section of most supermarkets.
