Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, for uniform cooking.
Place the cut sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add in the cornstarch and toss the fries until they are evenly coated.
Drizzle the olive oil over the fries and toss again to ensure they are well coated.
Season the fries with black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until all the fries are well seasoned.
Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure there is space between each fry to allow them to crisp up, otherwise, they will steam and become soggy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the trays from the oven, flip the fries using a spatula, and rotate the pans to ensure even baking. Return them to the oven.
Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. This will help them firm up a bit more.
Transfer the fries into a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
