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 seasonings (e.g., chili powder, smoked paprika, or dried herbs)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes (optional) and cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with cornstarch until they are lightly coated. This helps achieve crispiness.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss again to coat evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings onto the sweet potatoes. Toss until all fries are evenly seasoned.

Step 6

Spread the sweet potato fries into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there’s space between each fry to prevent steaming.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch.
