Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin, uniform strips resembling fries. Aim for approximately 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato fries into a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to evenly coat.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato fries and toss well to ensure every fry is evenly seasoned.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overlapping to allow for even roasting.
Step 7
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crisping. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 8
Once the fries are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Optionally, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Step 10
Serve immediately while warm with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
