Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
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 1/4-inch wide sticks or wedges, ensuring consistent size for even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with the olive oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the sweet potatoes and toss again to coat them lightly.
Add salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss the fries until evenly seasoned.
Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap and have space between them for better crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and flip each fry to ensure even cooking.
Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid burning, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving to allow them to crisp up further.
Serve warm as a side dish or a healthy snack, and enjoy your sugar-free, crispy baked sweet potato fries!
