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.
