Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick, trying to keep them uniform in size for even baking.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with cornstarch to coat them evenly. The cornstarch will help the fries become crispy.
Drizzle the coated sweet potato strips with olive oil and toss again to ensure they are lightly covered.
Add paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss the sweet potato strips until they are evenly seasoned.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure none of the fries are overlapping.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then carefully flip them over using a spatula, and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them achieve maximum crispness.
Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy side or snack.
