Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a mandoline slicer fitted with a waffle-cut blade, slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Rotate the potato 90 degrees after each pass to achieve the waffle effect.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika. Mix well to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap to allow for even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the trays and flip the fries to ensure even cooking.
Return the trays to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crispy sweet potato waffle fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
