Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 3
In a large bowl, add the sweet potato strips and sprinkle the cornstarch over them. Toss until the fries are evenly coated with a thin layer of cornstarch. This helps achieve a crispy exterior.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the fries and toss again to coat. Ensure that each piece is well-covered with oil to promote crispiness.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the coated sweet potatoes and toss until the fries are evenly seasoned.
Step 6
Lay the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking and crisping.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the tray, and flip each fry over using tongs or a spatula.
Step 8
Return the tray to the oven and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet, which will help them crisp further.
Step 10
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious low sodium crispy sweet potato fries!
