Directions

Step 1: Slice 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/4 sticks.  Put sticks in large bowl and sprinkle generously with salt.  Let sit for 20 minutes, then transfer to paper towels to absorb moisture.

Step 2: Return sticks to bowl, mist with nonstick cooking spray and season with 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves plus salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne to taste.

Step 3: Spread sticks on mesh wire rack fitted over a baking sheet (it's ok if you don't have a rack)
