Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

I have been food blogging for almost a year now and in that time I have bought so many plates, bowls, trays, cups, etc. that I wanted for photos. In our storage area, under the stairs in the basement, I have started to fill up a shelf with so many single dishes, placemats, cloth napkins and more!

If you are a food blogger, I imagine you can likely relate. You can only show food on the same plate so many times before it gets old and boring! Sometimes you need a fresh look. Well it happened again last week. I was in a store the other day and saw this fun french fry cone holder with paper cone liners.

I had to buy it.

These sweet potato fries are the perfect side dish, or appetizer, and they look great in this fry cone. I felt like I was at a restaurant!

The ranch dressing is mixed with sriracha sauce to give it a nice spicy kick, which is wonderfully offset with the sweetness of the fries.

These fries are oven baked in a light coating of oil. So, if you are looking for a nice, light and healthy snack, you can’t go wrong with these guys! Problem is, you will not want to stop eating them!!

  • Your comment about food accessories reminds me of my ongoing Pier One fantasy where the entire store is my pantry. I’m not sure which plates and cups I would choose — I would simply like access to all of them.
