Sometimes you just need to venture and try something new

Okay, I admit that oven baked sweet potato fries are not really adventurous, but for me, it was going out on a limb a little bit. I like sweet potatoes sweet, not savory. Still, I was looking for a side for the grilled pork chops other than my standard roasted potatoes or rice. These definitely did not disappoint. They were very easy to make, and did not require any special trips to the store. There is an undercurrent of sweetness there, but it complements the spicy flavors rather than creating a contrast. While I have seen recipes that include a sweeter spice like cinnamon, I was happy with the flavors with this recipe.
