Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 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. Using a waffle fry cutter or mandoline with a waffle blade attachment, cut the sweet potatoes into waffle-shaped slices.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to make sure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the tray, flip the slices over to promote even crisping, and return to the oven.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the waffle fries are golden-brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for a minute. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a delicious, paleo-friendly side dish or snack.
