Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chutney (any variety, e.g., mango, tamarind)
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 wedges or sticks, about 1/2-inch thick, ensuring they cook evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form a thin paste.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching. Crowding the pan will prevent them from becoming crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, carefully flip the wedges using a spatula and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. This helps them firm up and become even crispier.
Serve the oven-fried sweet potatoes warm with the chutney on the side for dipping or drizzling.
