Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized thin wedges or sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potato slices and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Sprinkle the spice and cornstarch mixture over the sweet potatoes in the bowl. Toss well to evenly coat each piece with the seasoning.
Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out and not overlapping to ensure maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and carefully flip the sweet potatoes using a spatula.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Sprinkle the baked sweet potatoes with dried parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
