Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin matchsticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato sticks in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for about 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and make them crispier.
Step 4
Drain the sweet potatoes and pat them dry completely with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Drying well is crucial for crispiness.
Step 5
In a large bowl, toss the dry sweet potato sticks with cornstarch until they are lightly coated.
Step 6
Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the cornstarch-coated sweet potato sticks. Toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. It's important not to overcrowd them to ensure they roast evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, use a spatula to flip the sweet potatoes and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these low-fat crispy fried sweet potatoes as a delicious snack or side dish!
