Preparation

• So first, combine the tomato sauce and the chili flakes. After letting it steep, go ahead and stir in the remaining ingredients to taste.
• That is so important -- you should always taste as you go. And add spices in gradually; once they're in, they don't come out.
• Peel your sweet potatoes and then chop them into french fry shapes. Heat your oven to 375 degrees as you cut the potatoes.
• Then, toss the fries in olive oil, garlic salt, and black pepper. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and then lay out the fries.
• Sprinkle with paprika and cumin and then bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges of the fries are browning.
• Then flip them over, and bake for another 20 minutes.
