Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even sticks about 1/4 inch wide. Try to make them all similar in size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato sticks with olive oil and toss until they are well coated.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the sweet potatoes and toss again to ensure an even coating. This step will help make the fries crispy.
Add paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed over the fries.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure they bake evenly.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip them over using a spatula, and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your dairy-free crispy baked sweet potato fries as a side dish or a healthy snack!
