Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thick steak fry-sized wedges, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, paprika, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap. This helps them cook evenly and get crispy.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries over using tongs or a spatula. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 7
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a vibrant, herby finish.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a flavorful snack or a side dish to your favorite Indian-inspired mains.
