Roasted Veggie Fries
(recipe adapted from recipe by Lisa Barnes in Cooking for Baby)
Ingredients:
2 small sweet potatoes
1 yam
1 beet
1/2 teaspoon each: chopped sage, thyme and flat leaf parsley.
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons unrefined, organic coconut oil (melted).
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees
Cut potatoes, yams and beets into 1/2 inch strips. Toss melted coconut oil, veggies, salt and spices in a bowl. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and spread veggies evenly. Cook for 20-25 minutes. Stir the veggies occasionally to prevent sticking.
Cool and serve as bite-sized snacks!
