Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick. Try to keep all the fries the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil until they are lightly coated.
Sprinkle cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the fries. Toss well to ensure the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. This step is crucial to getting crispy fries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula. Return them to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Taste and adjust with additional salt, if needed.
Serve immediately as a healthy snack or side dish. Enjoy these guilt-free, crispy sweet potato fries!
