Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a mandoline with a waffle blade attachment, slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick waffle slices.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced sweet potatoes, olive oil, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the sweet potato slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, then carefully flip the fries over using a spatula to ensure even browning.
Continue baking for an additional 10 to 13 minutes or until crisp and golden brown on the edges, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your homemade Paleo Chick-fil-A style waffle fries as a delicious and healthy side dish or snack.
