Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0 optional maple syrup for dipping
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into sticks about 1/2 inch thick, resembling French fries.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato sticks into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle cornstarch evenly over them. Toss to coat lightly.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss again to ensure even coverage.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
Step 6
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat until every stick is evenly covered.
Step 7
Spread the sweet potato sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. This helps them crisp up.
Step 8
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the sweet potato sticks with a spatula.
Step 9
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve immediately, optionally with a side of maple syrup for dipping.
