Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to form the Cajun spice blend.
Add the sweet potato sticks to the mixing bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice blend.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space and are not overlapping to allow for proper crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Cajun Fries as a healthy and flavorful snack or side dish.
