Crispy Oven Baked Sweet (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 regular-sized sweet potatoes, cut into fry shapes (peeling is up to you)
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Seasonings
03 -
1 teaspoon salt
04 -
1 teaspoon paprika (smoky is fine if you like)
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Optional
07 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch if you want them extra crunchy
# Instructions:
01 -
Slide your baking sheet into the oven and set temp to 425°F (220°C). Let it get hot while you get everything else ready.
02 -
Chop sweet potatoes into stick shapes about ¼-inch thick. Dunk them in cold water for half an hour so some of the starch washes out.
03 -
Dry off your fries with paper towels. Toss them in a bowl with oil, seasonings, and cornstarch if you want. Make sure everything gets coated.
04 -
Lay fries out in one layer on that preheated baking sheet. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Flip them over in the middle so both sides turn crispy and golden.
# Notes:
01 -
Crunchy sweet potato fries fresh out of the oven—they're better for you than deep-fried ones.
