Baked sweet potato (kamote) fries

Ingredients

• 1 medium sweet potato / Kamote
• Olive oil for drizzling
• Salt and pepper

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Peel the sweet potato, trim the ends, and cut it in half crosswise. Cut each half in half again lengthwise. Put each quarter cut-side down on the cutting board and cut into thick slices. Cut each slice into sticks.
2. Pile the sweet potato sticks onto a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Spread out the sticks so they are not touching. Bake the fries until golden and tender, about 25 minutes, turning them over about halfway through baking.
