I’m in training for a TV series in which I need to bulk and gain muscle. I eat these sweet potato fries with chicken burgers and fried eggs to help me pack in the protein.

Equipment
  • small, sharp knife
  • chopping board
  • bowl
  • roasting tray
Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper

1

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas. Wash 2 large sweet potatoes under cold running water, scrubbing well to get rid of any dirt (there’s no need to peel them).

2

Cut each sweet potato to the desired size but remember the thinner they are the quicker they cook. My personal favourite are thin crispy fries!

3

Add to a large mixing bowl, then sprinkle over a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then toss everything together to coat.

4

Spread out into a single layer in a large baking tray, using oven gloves put the tray in to the oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
