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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized wedges or sticks, about 1/2-inch thick, ensuring they cook evenly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form a thin paste.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. This helps them firm up and become even crispier.
Step 8
Serve the oven-fried sweet potatoes warm with the chutney on the side for dipping or drizzling.
