Ingredients:
• 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled
• 1/4 cup whole wheat or oat flour
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp kosher salt
• 2 egg whites

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Liberally coat a large cooking sheet with oil spray. The fries will be crispiest if baked directly on the baking sheet, without aluminum foil.

Cut the sweet potatoes length-wise into 1/2 inch thick slices, then cut each slice into 1/2 inch wide strips to form fries.

Combine flour, flaxseed, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a 1-pound resealable plastic bag. Crumble the ingredients together with your finger tips until they are evenly dispersed. Place the egg whites in a shallow dish and whisk until frothy.

Dip the fries into the egg whites, then tap them on the edge of the dish to drain any excess egg white. Add all fries to the plastic bag, seal and shake vigorously to coat them evenly with the breading mixture.

Delicately remove the fries from the bag and arrange them into a single layer, evenly spaced, on the prepared baking sheet. Mist the fries with oil spray.

Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the fries over and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until crispy and browned. Let the fries cool slightly before serving to allow the coating to harden.
