Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a mandoline slicer with a waffle blade to slice them into waffle-shaped pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. This helps to achieve optimal crispiness.
Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the sweet potato slices until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between each slice to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through the cooking time, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve immediately while warm and crispy. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free sweet potato waffle fries!
