The baking times approximate; it depends on how thick you cut the sweet potatoes. Try to cut them evenly so they all cook at about the same rate. For best browning results bake only one sheet at a time. Why the sugar? To help with the caramelization ant to intensify the sweetness of the fries, but you can easily leave it out if you want. And once you know how to make them, you will never have an excuse to not cook sweet potatoes again!
