Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
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 fries about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to remove excess starch.
Drain the sweet potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a clean large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the sweet potatoes. Toss until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Spread the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring that none are overlapping. For the crispiest results, bake in batches if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, carefully flip the fries using a spatula and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes to further crisp up.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!
