Ingredients
- 3 whole medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick, trying to keep them uniform in size for even baking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with cornstarch to coat them evenly. The cornstarch will help the fries become crispy.
Step 4
Drizzle the coated sweet potato strips with olive oil and toss again to ensure they are lightly covered.
Step 5
Add paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss the sweet potato strips until they are evenly seasoned.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure none of the fries are overlapping.
Step 7
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then carefully flip them over using a spatula, and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them achieve maximum crispness.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy side or snack.
