Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Using a waffle slicer or mandoline, slice the sweet potatoes into waffle fries shape about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices with cornstarch and toss to coat them evenly. The cornstarch will help make the fries extra crispy.
Add olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Toss the sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Take care not to overcrowd them to ensure they bake evenly and turn crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, flip each fry carefully using a spatula or tongs, and return to the oven.
Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite vegan dipping sauces!
