No matter what the reason may be that you need to cut back on your sugar intake I don't think you or I should have to forgo recipes that include a sweetener. You can still enjoy all your favorite sweet recipes by swapping regular sugar with one of the SPLENDA® Sweeteners.
These Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Fries have just the right amount of sweet and spicy flavor. I made a Sweet & Spicy Ginger Mayonnaise to dip them in but you can use any favorite dip you like or just eat them by themselves.
What I love about these Sweet Spicy Sweet Potato Fries is that the ingredient list is short. You probably have all the ingredients on hand except maybe the sweet potatoes.
