After reading the other reviews I made a few adjustments, I baked my fries at 400 degrees and I did not spray my cooking sheet with cooking spray(my sheet is non-stick. Once they came out of the oven, my husband who does not like sweet potato fries was eating them! I really tossed the canola oil and salt all over the fries making sure to really coat them. After 30 minutes they came out perfectly. Hope this helps others who had bad results!

I just made these sweet potatoes and they burned. They didn't taste like any sweet potatoes I've ever had before. Would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

After reading about burned ends, I tried to evenly cut all the fries. Sweet potatoes are notoriously mishapen and very difficult to cut evenly. If I tried this recipe again, I would consider buying a mandolin for uniformly cut fries that cooked evenly. As for taste, short of incinerating a sweet potato, they all taste good.
