Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Peel the sweet potatoes (if desired) and cut them into evenly sized fries about 1/4-inch thick to ensure even baking.
Place the sweet potato fries into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper over the fries. Toss again to distribute the seasoning uniformly.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden, slightly crisp exterior.
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and drizzle them lightly with maple syrup while they are still warm.
If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the fries as a garnish before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light, sweet, and savory sweet potato fries!
