So full of nutrition, sweet potatoes are also kid-friendly. Baked sweet potatoes are great, but here's another option that's fat-free and family-friendly:
peel sweet potatoes and cut in thin strips. Soak at least ten minutes in cold water. Rinse and drain. Meanwhile dry bowl and put in cornstarch (spoonful or two - depends on how many potatoes) and spices (your choice, salt, pepper, other favorites), add potatoes and stir well (water remaining on them will be enough to make it stick). You want just enough cornstarch to lightly cover and enough spice to add a little zing.
Spread one layer thick on parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake in preheated 475 degree oven about ten minutes (if you want them pretty, you will have to turn them over halfway through, the top side doesn't brown)
