Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, turmeric powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until well coated.

Step 11

Season the sauce with the remaining salt and adjust to taste if necessary.

Step 12

Once the sweet potato fries are done, add them to the pan with the masala sauce and gently toss until well coated.
