Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel and wash the sweet potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 3
Carefully add the sweet potato slices to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 4
Fry the sweet potatoes for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if they start to brown too quickly.
Step 5
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried sweet potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 7
While the sweet potatoes are still hot, sprinkle the spice mixture over them for even coating.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried sweet potatoes immediately as a side dish or a snack.
