Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground chipotle powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into long, thin strips about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato strips into a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato strips, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, and chipotle powder over the sweet potatoes, and toss everything well to coat the fries evenly with the seasonings.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring no pieces overlap to allow proper roasting.
Step 7
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the trays and flip the fries using a spatula.
Step 8
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy at the edges.
Step 9
Remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or snack, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce.
