Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes

- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch thick fries. Try to make them uniform in size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut sweet potatoes with the cornstarch and toss until they are lightly coated.
Step 4
Add the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown on the edges.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a healthy side dish or a delicious snack.
