Sweet Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

Disclosure: I made this delicious Sweet Spicy Sweet Potato Fries recipe using SPLENDA® Sweeteners as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps . All opinions are my own.

This month is the start of a five month partnership with SPLENDA^® Products. I’ll be bringing you some delicious #SweepSwap recipes using a variety of SPLENDA^® Sweeteners. This Sweet Spicy Sweet Potato Fries recipe is one I like to enjoy when I am craving a sweet snack.

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.

SPLENDA^® Sweeteners offers the sweetness of sugar, without all the calories!

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.
