Baked Coconut Sweet Potato Fries

 Try something different with sweet potatoes. This side dish and appetizer is always a big hit. Everyone loves these crispy baked coconut sweet potato fries. 

 

We love sweet potatoes in my house.

I make baked or mashed sweet potatoes quite often.

I thought of changing things up a little. 

 There was some grated coconut in the house and tried this hoping the family would like this new side dish.

Well, they loved it.

So, now this is a staple around here and I even serve these as an appetizer for company.

Add a dipping sauce like this Lemon Garlic Aioli, tastes great together or eat them as is. You’re going to love this way of eating sweet potatoes!
