Bruschetta and Sweet Potato Fries

Bruschetta is one of the easiest recipes, I used to prepare on weekends. I used to buy ready to eat french fries to make a combo with sandwiches or bruschetta. but this time I tried something healthy that is homemade sweet potato fries. I like the taste of sweet potatoes so, I like to replace potatoes with sweet potatoes in curries as well.

6-7 Cherry Tomatoes
