Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, uniform slices or sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the sweet potato slices or sticks in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain them well and dry completely with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder until well combined.
Place the dry sweet potatoes in a large zip-top bag or a bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over them, and toss or shake until all pieces are evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the sweet potatoes.
Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Cook the sweet potatoes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the fried sweet potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium crispy fried sweet potatoes!
