Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by peeling and cutting the sweet potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, to mimic French fries.
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them to crisp up when cooked.
Drain and thoroughly pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). While waiting for the oven to heat, spread the sweet potatoes out on a large baking sheet.
Melt the coconut oil by microwaving it for a few seconds if solid, then mix with olive oil.
Drizzle the oil mixture over the sweet potato strips, and toss them to coat evenly.
In a separate small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes, and toss again to ensure they are well-coated.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer, ensuring that the fries aren’t crowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite Whole30 compliant dipping sauce.
