Sweet Potato Shoestrings

"

1 sweet potato per person
Light olive oil or organic canola oil, as needed
Seasoning: ground cumin, thyme, black pepper, red pepper, and cinnamon
For serving:
Sea salt
Champagne or rice vinegar (Optional)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the sweet potatoes into long thin shoestrings. Toss them into a bowl and drizzle with light olive oil; stirring lightly to coat. Generously season them. (Optional mix is equal shakes of: cumin, thyme and black pepper; and a little bit of hot red pepper and cinnamon.) Throw them on a baking sheet. Spread evenly- in one layer, if possible. Bake in the upper portion of your oven for about 20 to 30 minutes- until they are tender and sizzling and crispy around the edges.
Season with sea salt immediately.  Sprinkle with vinegar and enjoy!
