Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, making sure they are as uniform as possible for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps to make them crispier when baked.
Step 4
After soaking, drain the sweet potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Place the dried sweet potato strips back in the large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the cornstarch spice mixture over the oiled sweet potatoes and toss again until they are evenly coated.
Step 8
Spread the sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and flip the fries over to promote even cooking.
Step 10
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed before serving.
