Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Fries

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking crispy fries.
  2. Prepare the fries: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet, taking care not to overcrowd them to allow even cooking and crispiness.
  4. Bake the fries: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown and crisp evenly on all sides.
  5. Serve: Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cut fries evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow fries to crisp up properly.
  • For extra crispiness, you can soak sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and then dry thoroughly.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add cayenne for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, aioli, or spicy mayo.
