Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into approximately 1/4 inch thick fries ensuring they are evenly cut for uniform cooking.
Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to ensure they're evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potatoes, tossing again to coat evenly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap for optimal crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and turn the fries over, then bake for another 10-15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Paleo Papas Fritas!
