Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into even-sized strips about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato strips in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle them with cornstarch. Toss until the sweet potatoes are lightly coated.
Step 4
Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the sweet potatoes until they're well coated with oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Arrange the sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching each other to promote crispiness.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip the fries and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve as a delicious side dish or a healthy snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
