Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into thin, even strips about 1/4-inch wide to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, ensuring each strip is evenly coated with oil.
Add the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl. Continue tossing until the potatoes are evenly seasoned with the spices.
Spread the potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for optimal crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and use a spatula to flip the fries carefully.
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve immediately as a delicious and guilt-free Whole30 snack or side dish.
