Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into even-sized strips about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
Place the sweet potato strips in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle them with cornstarch. Toss until the sweet potatoes are lightly coated.
Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the sweet potatoes until they're well coated with oil and seasonings.
Arrange the sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching each other to promote crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip the fries and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve as a delicious side dish or a healthy snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
