Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into uniform, thin strips to resemble traditional fries.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with melted coconut oil, ensuring all fries are lightly coated.
Add sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl, and toss again to evenly distribute the spices.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each to promote crispiness.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the fries over using a spatula, and return them to the oven for another 15 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
While the fries are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the sweet potato fries are crispy and cooked through, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while hot, as a side dish or snack. Enjoy your Paleo Patatas Fritas!
