Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin, uniform strips resembling fries. Aim for approximately 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato fries into a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to evenly coat.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato fries and toss well to ensure every fry is evenly seasoned.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overlapping to allow for even roasting.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crisping. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Once the fries are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Optionally, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately while warm with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
