Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even fries, about 1/4 inch thick. Try to cut them as uniformly as possible to ensure even baking.
3. Place the cut sweet potato fries in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and enhances crispiness.
4. Drain the sweet potato fries and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
6. Return the dry fries to a clean, dry bowl, drizzle the olive oil over them, and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the fries and toss again until the fries are well coated.
7. Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching to allow for even roasting.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then carefully flip the fries over using a spatula.
9. Return to the oven and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
10. Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb crispy sweet potato fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
