INGREDIENTS:
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 2 teaspoons olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Sweet Potato Prep: Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into sticks that are around ¼-inch thick and 4 to 5 inches long. These dimensions ensure a perfect balance of crispiness and tenderness in each bite.
- Seasoning Fusion: In a sealable plastic bag or a bowl with a lid, toss the sweet potato sticks with the dried marjoram and olive oil. Ensure the seasonings are distributed evenly by gently rubbing them into the sweet potato sticks.
