Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Honey Lime Dip

I'm trying to give up white potatoes and I LOVE these sweet potato fries. 
Ingredients:
1 lb. peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1/4" matchsticks *
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp coriander
1 tsp salt
1 tsp parsley
1/8 tsp black pepper
*you want 1 lb. sweet potatoes after peeling and dicing so weigh a little more than a pound at the grocery store. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Combine cumin, oregano, coriander, salt, parsley and pepper.  Place the sweet potatoes in a pile on the baking sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil and spread them all around with your fingers until the oil has coated them all.  Do the same with all the spices.

Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on your baking sheet so that no pieces are touching each other.  Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the fries over with a spatula.  Return to the oven and bake another 15-20 minutes or until they look crispy enough for you.  Let them cool 5 minutes then serve immediately.
