Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon optional: fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks or fries, about 1/4-inch thick, for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato sticks into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat each piece evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss again to evenly coat.
Spread the sweet potato sticks out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan for the crispiest results.
Roast the sweet potato sticks in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on them toward the end to prevent burning.
Once the sweet potatoes are golden and tender, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
