Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even-sized sticks, approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Add the sweet potato sticks to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated sweet potato sticks in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
Fry the sweet potatoes for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them gently using tongs and fry for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the sweet potato fries from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process for any remaining batches.
Once all the sweet potatoes are fried, sprinkle them with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve the Vegan Crispy Fried Sweet Potatoes immediately as a delicious snack or side dish.
