Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for smokiness)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for extra crispiness)
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes (or leave the skin on for extra fiber). Cut them into even-sized fries (about 1/4 inch thick) or into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
Place the cut sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If using cornstarch, sprinkle it over the sweet potatoes before adding the oil mixture to help with crisping.
Pour the seasoned olive oil mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Flip the sweet potatoes with a spatula, then roast for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to your main dish.
