This is a crispy alternative to french fries, provided by Kikkoman.

Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes
1/2 cup flour

1 cup Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs

1/4 tsp garlic powder
Non-stick cooking spray
Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut sweet potatoes into fries.
2. Place flour in a bowl. Whip egg whites to soft peaks and place in another bowl. Combine panko, dried herbs and garlic powder in a third bowl.
3. Dip sweet potatoes in flour, then in egg whites. Roll in panko, pressing to make panko adhere better.
4. Place sweet potatoes on a cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Spray sweet potatoes lightly with more cooking spray to help browning.
5. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce.
