Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even-sized sticks, approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Add the sweet potato sticks to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated sweet potato sticks in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
Step 6
Fry the sweet potatoes for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them gently using tongs and fry for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Step 7
Remove the sweet potato fries from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process for any remaining batches.
Step 9
Once all the sweet potatoes are fried, sprinkle them with fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 10
Serve the Vegan Crispy Fried Sweet Potatoes immediately as a delicious snack or side dish.
