Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean cloth.
Step 3
Using a mandoline set to a waffle cut blade, slice the sweet potatoes into waffle-shaped pieces approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Place the sliced sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat them evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss again until every slice is well-coated with the seasoning blend.
Step 7
Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that they do not overlap, allowing for maximum crispiness.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries over using a spatula. Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes on the tray. This resting time helps to solidify the crispy texture.
Step 10
Serve warm as a delightful snack or side dish, and enjoy the naturally sweet, flavorful taste of the crispy sweet potato waffle fries.
