Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0 Optional dipping sauce of choice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes, if desired, and cut them into thin, evenly-sized strips (about 1/4 inch thick) for consistent cooking.
Step 3
Place the cut sweet potato fries in a large mixing bowl and toss with cornstarch until they are lightly coated.
Step 4
Drizzle olive oil over the fries and toss again to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the fries with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even crisping.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the fries with a spatula to cook the other side evenly.
Step 8
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with a little extra salt if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your dipping sauce of choice and enjoy!
