Wait, are we still talking about Whole30 loaded sweet potato fries? Uh…
This recipe actually started as a side dish during a non-Whole30 week, when we were trying to eat clean to make up for some recent overindulgence. It started as a sweet potato, unpeeled with a few wiry hairs, sitting solo on my counter.
“We should eat this,” I said. “But I am really sick of making sweet potato fries.”
Because, here’s the deal with sweet potato fries: Peel, slice, slice again, soak, drain, towel dry, dust, season, coat, toss, rub, place, bake, turn, swap, pray, remove, notice you baked them one minute too long and are thus black on one side.

In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, melt coconut oil or ghee. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook, stirring regularly, until beginning to soften. Add spices and stir to combine well.
