Directions
1Preheat oven to 450F. Position the racks in the center and upper third of the oven.
2Lightly dampen a paper towel with 1 tablespoon of the palm fruit oil, and thoroughly wipe 2 rimmed baking sheets with it.
3Combine the sweet potato wedges with the remaining palm fruit oil in a large bowl.
4In a separate small bowl, combine the spices and salt. Add the spice mixture to the potatoes, and toss well to coat.
5Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the oiled baking sheets, being careful not to overcrowd the pans. (Overcrowding = soggy fries)
6Bake, turning the fries once, until browned, about 20-22 minutes. Swap the position of the pans on the lower and upper racks once halfway during cooking to ensure even browning.
