Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes or yams
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Peel the sweet potatoes or yams and cut them into evenly sized fries, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Place the cut fries in a large mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch and toss to evenly coat the fries. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
Drizzle the olive oil over the fries and toss again to ensure they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the fries and toss to coat them thoroughly.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none are overlapping for even cooking.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the fries over, and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the fries cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
