Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Peel and wash the sweet potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully add the sweet potato slices to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the sweet potatoes for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if they start to brown too quickly.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried sweet potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
While the sweet potatoes are still hot, sprinkle the spice mixture over them for even coating.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the crispy fried sweet potatoes immediately as a side dish or a snack.
