ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into sticks
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- Chili flakes, for garnish
- Cilantro, fresh for garnish

Method
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C, fan setting.
Step 2
Wash and chop the sweet potatoes into long, thin fries – keeping the skin on. Place these on a large baking tray, ensuring that they fit flat on the tray and aren’t stacked on top of each other so that they cook evenly.
Step 3
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan, adding the maple syrup, cinnamon, paprika and chili once it’s melted. Pour this over the sweet potatoes, mixing them up to ensure that they’re evenly coated.
Step 4
Bake for an hour, mixing half way through.
Step 5
Once they’re soft and tender in the middle and a little crispy on the outside, take them out the oven and sprinkle with the chopped coriander, chilli flakes and sesame seeds
