Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
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 evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch wide, for consistent cooking.
Step 3
Place the sweet potato sticks in a large bowl and dust evenly with cornstarch. Toss well to ensure each piece is lightly coated.
Step 4
Drizzle olive oil over the coated sweet potato fries and toss again until the fries are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the fries out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap to allow for even browning.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and carefully flip the fries. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
While the fries bake, combine kosher salt, chile powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl to make the chile salt.
Step 8
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle the chile salt generously over the fries and toss to coat.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet Potato Fries with Chile Salt as a snack or side dish!
