Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons optional fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with cornstarch until evenly coated. This helps achieve a crisp exterior.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes, ensuring they are fully coated. Add the garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper, tossing to combine.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there’s space between each fry to prevent steaming.
Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip the fries using a spatula. Bake for an additional 10–12 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes to crisp up further.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a garnish before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own!
