Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, for uniform cooking.
Step 3
Place the cut sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add in the cornstarch and toss the fries until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the fries and toss again to ensure they are well coated.
Step 5
Season the fries with black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until all the fries are well seasoned.
Step 6
Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure there is space between each fry to allow them to crisp up, otherwise, they will steam and become soggy.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the trays from the oven, flip the fries using a spatula, and rotate the pans to ensure even baking. Return them to the oven.
Step 8
Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. This will help them firm up a bit more.
Step 10
Transfer the fries into a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
