Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a mandoline or a knife, slice the sweet potatoes into waffle shapes approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the waffle-cut sweet potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss again until all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is some space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the tray and flip the sweet potatoes to ensure even crisping.
Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy your dairy-free crispy sweet potato waffle fries!
