Spicy Sweet Potato Fries using Country Crock

MOMMYLICIOUS

A few hours after lunch I always have a snack attack. Consequently I am always making little snacks and storing them for those ravenous moments. Today while I was raiding the refrigerator, my eyes settled on the tub of Country Crock sitting in the corner. 

Just last week Influenster had mailed me a coupon of Country Crock for free for sampling it. I redeemed my coupon for a tub of Country Crock Original from my nearest grocery store. There are other varieties of Country Crock like Calcium, Light and Churn Style, Sticks etc but since this is my first time trying Country Crock I went for the original buttery spread. 

I had two sweet potatoes staring at me, and since I was craving something savoury I decided to put them to good use. I wanted to use the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and give a spicy twist to it. So, I came up with the idea of Spicy Sweet Potato Fries. 

Here is how I made it. 

1. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes. 

2. Soak them in water for 1 hour. 

3. Coat them in corn starch. 

4. Add garlic salt, brown sugar, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika to the sweet poratoes and toss it in a bowl. 

5.  Add a spoonful of Country Crock original and mix well. 

6. Arrange them on a baking tray. 

7. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes.  

Serve hot. 

Use any dipping sauce of your choice. 

Country Crock is so buttery and smooth that it just added a new dimension to the sweet potato fries. I like Country Crock already. It is so creamy and tastes just like butter but without the artificial preservatives and flavors and transfat. It can be used in so many ways. You can check out Country Crock's website for a whole bunch of recipes to be inspired from. Or, you can Make It Yours. 

Let me know in the comments below how you use your Country Crock. Share your recipes too. As and when I make something else (hopefully something sweet) I will keep you guys posted.
