Last summer (yea, like 2014), I made this killer sweet potato fries with my lovely Spiralizer
. I got the idea from one of the many gluten-free Facebook groups I’m in. A girl was talking about how she missed those seasoned waffle fries you can buy frozen at the grocery. Most of them are not gluten-free so that creates a problem. When she said this, I started getting the craving for those seasoned waffle fries. I don’t even know what the “seasoning” is, but those fries (that I was reminded of), were really good from what I remember. So I was on a mission to remedy this little situation.

Now, I had to idea how to make the waffle shape, but I did have a Spiralizer. I mean, I could have just cut them normal, steak-cut or even just sliced, but I needed to make these fun. So that’s where the Spiralizercame in. At that point, I had never spiralized a potato so I was pretty excited to see how it would come out. It worked…very well! Thus, I have spiralized many potatoes since 😉

This also confirms that everyone needs a Spiralizerin their life. Don’t think it’s one of those “useless” space-taker-up kitchen items. They are super fun to use and you can spiralize almost anything. Like beets and of course the famous zoodle.

The only thing I messed up a bit, was the amount of “seasoning”. I made my fries a bit too spicy for my taste buds. The mix of spices was perfect, but my mouth was on fire! I didn’t measure any of the spices, which means you can use whatever ratio you’d like if you make these. I took it like a man and ate my super spicy fries anyway…with tons of ketchup, which actually helped cool-down the spice factor. Did you know that you shouldn’t drink water when your mouth is on fire? It just pushes the spice particles around. But if you drink MILK, that actually grabs, coats, and flushes down the spice particles. So if you make these super spicy, like I did, make sure you have a large cold glass of almond milk by your side 😉

Another fun tid-bit about these fries. They are so crispy! Long strings (kinda like shoe-string fries) of crispy baked goodness! They were actually really long, so I suggest snipping them a bit before you bake them since we’re making fries here, not sweet potato noodles! But still, I had such a fun time eating these! If you want to amp up your fry-game and wow people at all those upcoming cook-outs, I’d suggest you make these.

    Wow, these look amazing! I’m definitely going to try these out as a side because I’m desperately trying to get the boys to eat sweet potato, but they still don’t like it 🙁 x

    These look seriously good – such a creative use of a spiraliser! And you’re right, everyone does need one in their kitchen (that’s why I have to invest in one soon 😉 )

    How have I never thought of spiralizing sweet potatoes? These fries sound so good! I used to like those waffle fries too, but the ingredients are a little scary sounding – these sound much better =)
    This is being featured on Healthy Vegan Fridays this week (shocker!). Thanks so much for sharing – I have pinned this and cannot wait to try it this weekend =)

    I’ve been wanting to make some spiralizer fries for awhile now. Maybe I’ll finally get around to it after reading your post. I feel like judging seasoning can be hard at first, I try to start off as bland as possible and than work my way up. (But, then again I have irate intestines, so I like to keep them happy too.) Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for bringing these to FF!

    What a brilliant idea – love those sweet potato fries and the ingredients in them make me want them all the more. I’ve seen the spiralizers before, but I don’t have any more space for gadgets :)……so I found this tiny gadget that looks like a potato peeler, only it is one that shreds veggies and makes them like noodles, of course not half as fancy schmancy as the spiralizer, but I definitely will use it to try this recipe 🙂

    I need to get my spiralizer out and make these!! They look so good! I bought it right before the end of the summer and I haven’t used it since our CSA ended. But now it’s starting up again, so time to get it back out! I hope you’ll stop by #FoodieFriDIY and share this yummy recipe too…we go live at 9 pm EST tonight. 🙂

    I am a french fry junky but I usually don’t indulge since fries are fried, but oven fried, thin, sweet potatoes I can do that. This recipe looks delicious and they won’t ruin my diet.

    These look so delicious, Rebecca! I wish I could eat some right now! I’m going to have to go and get my spiraliser out and make them! Mmm, nothing beats sweet potato 🙂

    In my personal opinion sweet potato anything is better than regular. I love sweet potato fries! Whenever I order them out at a restaurant though I have to ask about the seasoning because lots of places put cinnamon and sugar or powdered sugar on them and that ruins it as far as I’m concerned.

    Thanks for the recipe!

    The only waffles fries I’m familiar with are the ones at Chick-Fil-A, and those are amazing. =P I LOVE sweet potatoes, and these look really fun! If I ever want yet another small kitchen appliance, I’ll look into a spiralizer!

    These look so good! I can imagine them piled on top of a thick juicy burger or made into a type of sev snack using potatoes instead of sev, with spicy Indian spices and curry. Great post!

    I love sweet potato fries and make them almost weekly for my family. I will have to try out this method. They look perfect and oh so crispy, which is just the way I like them.

    One of our favorite things to make with the Spiralizer… but really haven’t found anything I don’t like Spiralized! I have to agree, everyone needs one!! And yep I know what you are talking about when you say seasoned waffle fries…. now just give me some of the crazy season dip with it! 😉

    Yum, these look delish! I’ve made sweet potato fries in the spiralizer before but I don’t think I spaced them out very well on the cookie sheet and they turned out only so-so. I’m definitely going to give it another try b/c I love those seasoned waffle fries! Thanks for sharing.
