Sweet Potato Fries

This is great for a healthy alternative to french fries. I love french fries! But I can feel a lot better about eating these, and they are delicious!

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato
2 TBS Olive Oil
1 TBS Montreal Steak Seasoning
2 tsp seasoning salt

Directions

Cut the potato in wedges. Mix the ingredients and potato wedges in a bowl then spread out on a foil lined cookie sheet (for easy clean up). Bake @ 350 for 15 - 20 minutes, until tender. Change your oven to broil and broil potoatoes a few minutes on each side. Just long enough to get a little crispy.

Eat plain or with ketchup or fry sauce.
Balsamic BBQ Sauce

This BBQ sauce is sooo good. It's a nice change from the regular everyday sauces. I love balsamic vinegar in just about anything anyway, so if you are a fan too, TRY THIS OUT! It doesn't end up with a strong balsamic flavor, but the flavor is still there. mmmmm.....

Ingredients
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How to make it


Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until all the ingredients are well mixed and the mixture is smooth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3, about 15 to 20 minutes. Then put on your chicken or steak or whatever you like to make it delicious!
