Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin, even strips, about 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking.
Place the sweet potato slices into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato slices and toss again to coat thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix ground cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes, tossing until well-coated.
Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure they crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through baking to ensure even crisping.
Remove the fries from the oven once they are golden-brown and crispy on the edges. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
