Sweet Potato Fries Why Make This? Are you missing sweet potato fries from your favorite boba tea shop? You can make your own version at home in the oven! Sweet potatoes are super nutritious, and these fries are very easy to make. I love these fries, and they are quite versatile. I make them with salt and pepper, so I can eat them with different sauces (ketchup, thai sweet chili sauce, ranch, etc.); but you can experiment using all sorts of seasonings! You can toss them with taco seasoning, italian, cajun, or everything but the bagel. You can even use pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon with brown sugar to make them sweet.
