Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, uniform slices or sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
Place the sweet potato slices or sticks in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain them well and dry completely with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder until well combined.
Step 4
Place the dry sweet potatoes in a large zip-top bag or a bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over them, and toss or shake until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the sweet potatoes.
Step 6
Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Cook the sweet potatoes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the fried sweet potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium crispy fried sweet potatoes!
