Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 serving optional dipping sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes (if desired) and cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the sweet potato fries in a large bowl and dust them evenly with the cornstarch. Toss to coat thoroughly.
Drizzle the olive oil over the fries and toss again to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the fries. Toss well to distribute the seasonings.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping for optimal crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
