From: South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Meal Plan Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Paprika partners with thyme, black pepper, and cayenne to spice up these tasty grilled fries that are far healthier than their deep-fried counterparts. Cut them extra thin, and be sure to use a grill topper or vegetable basket. In cooler months, you can bake the fries in a hot oven.

4 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb), peeled 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp dried thyme 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp cayenne 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Lightly coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray and heat to medium-high.

Cut sweet potatoes into fries 1/3-inch thick by 2 to 4 inches long. In a medium bowl, combine sweet potatoes, oil, paprika, thyme, salt, cayenne, and black pepper.

Grill sweet potatoes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.
