Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, uniform sticks about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the sweet potato sticks to the bowl. Toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated sweet potato sticks in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the tray and flip each fry using a spatula for even cooking. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately while hot, with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce if desired.
