Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even matchstick-style fries, roughly 1/4-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with cornstarch to lightly coat them. This helps make them crispier in the oven.
Spray the fries lightly with olive oil spray, enough to coat evenly. Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and toss again until the fries are well-seasoned.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there's enough space between the fries to allow them to crisp up properly. If needed, use two baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
Once golden and slightly crispy on the edges, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Serve immediately with your favorite dip or enjoy as is!
