Chili Cheese Vegetable Fries

With fall closing in, I got a craving for some yummy chili cheese fries. Since I try to avoid deep-fried foods, (who doesn't love them) I came up with this idea instead. It is still yummmmmmm!

• 2 cups baked, crispy vegetable sticks, including deseeded zucchini, unpeeled sweet potato and plain potatoes, asparagus, carrots, turnips, broccoli ect.
• 1-2 cups home made chili
•  ¼ cup of grated parmesan and cheddar cheese
• Spices: 1 tsp of pepper, garlic, cumin

Directions:
1. First turn oven to 400 degrees. Cut and prepare vegetables for oven. Toss in olive oil and spices. Just sprinkle them on and stir until covered. If looking for lower salt diet, do not add salt until fries are finished baking. And then sprinkle a little on top at the end. Bake for about 30 minutes. Check every 10 minutes and toss. Try to get crispy. After 30 minutes if you want, just turn on the broiler and crisp up the veggies quickly.
2. While baking fries, make the chili, and prepare the cheese.
