Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean cloth.
Using a mandoline set to a waffle cut blade, slice the sweet potatoes into waffle-shaped pieces approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Place the sliced sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss again until every slice is well-coated with the seasoning blend.
Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that they do not overlap, allowing for maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries over using a spatula. Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes on the tray. This resting time helps to solidify the crispy texture.
Serve warm as a delightful snack or side dish, and enjoy the naturally sweet, flavorful taste of the crispy sweet potato waffle fries.
