Ina's Sweet Potato Fries

Does anyone else love Ina Garten?  I saw her make these on Barefoot Contessa a few weeks ago and had to try them for myself.  They were a hit with all 3 boys.  A & Z especially loved that I was giving them permission to eat as many "fries" as they wanted.

-2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled

-2 tablespoons good olive oil
-1 tablespoon light brown sugar
-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
-1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise and cut each half into 3 long spears. Place them on a sheet pan and toss with the olive oil. Spread the potatoes in one layer.   Combine the brown sugar, salt, and pepper and sprinkle on the potatoes.  Bake for 15 minutes and then turn with a spatula. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Drain on a paper towel.  Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve hot.
