Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheets.  Bake at 425° for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Turn sticks over halfway through baking time.

Review:  We first tried making these by frying them in oil but it was a mess and the fries weren’t nearly as crispy.  Using the oven is much more efficient and makes much more tasty.  I’m not much of a vegi lover but these really were delicious!
