adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Generously coat baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray or olive oil. Peel sweet potatoes. Cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks that are approximately 5 inches long.

Place potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle potatoes with seasonings and stir until potatoes are evenly coated.

Place potatoes in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake approximately 10 minutes.  Remove and turn potatoes over, return to oven. Bake potatoes an additional 20 minutes or until done. Season to taste, sprinkle on some sweet paprika, serve with honey mustard. Delish!
