Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a mandolin with a waffle blade or a crinkle cutter, slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds to create the waffle fry shape.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Add sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix well to coat the waffle fries evenly with the spices.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato waffle fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overlap them to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the fries gently, and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve immediately for best texture.
