Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons optional seasoning (e.g., chili powder, cumin, or dried herbs)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes (optional if you prefer the skin on). Slice them into thin even strips about 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking.
Place the sweet potato strips into a large bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss until the fries are lightly coated.
Drizzle the olive oil over the coated sweet potato fries and toss again to evenly distribute the oil.
Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and any optional seasoning of your choice. Toss well until all the fries are evenly coated in spices.
Spread the sweet potato fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the fries to ensure they crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries over using a spatula and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden-brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
