Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a mandoline slicer with a waffle blade to slice them into waffle-shaped pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. This helps to achieve optimal crispiness.
Step 4
Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the sweet potato slices until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between each slice to allow even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through the cooking time, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately while warm and crispy. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free sweet potato waffle fries!
