Can I just say yummo! I improvised a little!

I basically cut them up into fries like McDs size tossed them in olive oil, salt , a hint of ground cinnamon, a hint of ground nutmeg, generous shakes of chili powder, and generous shakes of ground cumin. I then spread them out all over a cookie sheet, and baked @ 450 for several mins...I just kept pulling them out and flipping them from time to time. In the end I put the broiler on to try and crisp them up a bit, since I am not one to meticulously line them up on the sheet so they don't touch...any way they were really great!!
