Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries

From "Country Living", this recipe is one of our favorites! It's a bit on the spicy side, so cut the red pepper in 1/2 if you need to.

1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 large (about 1 1/2 pounds) sweet potatoes

Prepare sweet potatoes - peel, cut each in half, lengthwise, then cut each half into 6 wedges.
Ina large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, oil and spices. Toss until potatoes are evenly coated.
Bake in a single layer on baking sheet, placed on the middle rack of a 400F oven until edges are crisp and potatoes are cooked through - about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
