Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until the fries are evenly coated with the spices.
Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure they become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the fries before serving.
Enjoy your crispy, flavorful Mediterranean baked sweet potato fries as a healthy side or snack!
