Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon optional: fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks or fries, about 1/4-inch thick, for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato sticks into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat each piece evenly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss again to evenly coat.
Step 5
Spread the sweet potato sticks out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan for the crispiest results.
Step 6
Roast the sweet potato sticks in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on them toward the end to prevent burning.
Step 7
Once the sweet potatoes are golden and tender, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
