Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thick steak fry-sized wedges, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, paprika, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap. This helps them cook evenly and get crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries over using tongs or a spatula. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a vibrant, herby finish.
Serve immediately as a flavorful snack or a side dish to your favorite Indian-inspired mains.
