Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches long, ensuring uniform sizes for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with cornstarch until they are lightly coated. This will help achieve crispiness.
Add olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss well to ensure each fry is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. This will help them crisp up further.
Serve warm as a side dish or a healthy snack, and enjoy the crispy, sugar-free goodness!
