Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 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
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches long, ensuring uniform sizes for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with cornstarch until they are lightly coated. This will help achieve crispiness.
Step 4
Add olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss well to ensure each fry is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 5
Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries using a spatula. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. This will help them crisp up further.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or a healthy snack, and enjoy the crispy, sugar-free goodness!
