Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then use a julienne peeler, mandoline slicer, or sharp knife to cut them into thin, shoestring-style strips.
Place the sweet potato strips in a large bowl and sprinkle with the cornstarch. Toss until the cornstarch lightly coats all the strips evenly.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss again to ensure each strip is well coated.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato strips and toss to distribute evenly.
Arrange the sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Be careful not to overcrowd them to ensure they crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve immediately as a snack or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce.
