Baked Sweet Potato Fries have to be one of the most underrated side dishes to serve with your favorite burger. There is no secret ingredient to make this recipe that great, the sweet potatoes do all the heavy lifting.

Plus, the good news is that sweet potatoes aren’t even all that bad for you, they don’t have the excess starch like some other side dishes and are still delicious crispy fries. Especially if you bake them rather than deep frying the sweet potato fries.
