Baked Sweet Potato Chili Fries

These were the perfect snack for the football game today!

3 1/2 lb. sweet potatoes (5 to 6 large)
2 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup orange juice
3 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp honey
1 8-oz carton sour cream
1/3 cup snipped fresh cilantro


Preheat oven to 450. Cut each unpeeled potato into 1-inch-thick wedges. Place in a large self-sealing plastic bag; toss with oil, salt and pepper. Arrange on a large, rimmed baking sheet.

Meanwhile, in small bowl combine orange juice, 3 teaspoons of the chilir powder, and honey; set aside.

Bake potatoes, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until tender, brushing three times with orange juice mixture, and shaking pan occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine sour cream, remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/3 cup cilantro. Transfer potatoes to a serving dish; serve with sour cream micture. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
