Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4-inch thick. Try to keep them uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato sticks into a large bowl and sprinkle them with cornstarch. Toss well to coat each stick lightly with the cornstarch.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes, and toss again until the sticks are evenly coated.
Step 5
Combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 6
Spread the sweet potato fries out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure there is space between each fry to help them crisp up.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the tray and flip the fries over using a spatula. Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy at the edges.
Step 8
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
