Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Optional dipping sauce of choice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes, if desired, and cut them into thin, evenly-sized strips (about 1/4 inch thick) for consistent cooking.
Place the cut sweet potato fries in a large mixing bowl and toss with cornstarch until they are lightly coated.
Drizzle olive oil over the fries and toss again to ensure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the fries with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the fries with a spatula to cook the other side evenly.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with a little extra salt if desired.
Serve immediately with your dipping sauce of choice and enjoy!
