Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium firm sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel if desired. Cut into evenly sized sticks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking and ideal crisp edges.
  2. Season the Fries: Place the cut sweet potato sticks into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over them. Toss well until all pieces are coated with oil and seasonings.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Make sure they have space between them to allow hot air circulation and prevent steaming.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to achieve even crisping on all sides. Monitor closely towards the end to avoid burning.
  5. Serve Hot and Enjoy: Remove fries when golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy plain for the best texture.

Notes

  • Pat the cut fries dry before tossing with oil to help them crisp better.
  • Avoid crowding the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary for maximum crunch.
  • Flip the fries halfway through baking for even color and texture.
  • Bake at high heat (425°F) to achieve crispy edges while keeping the inside tender.
  • Customize seasonings with herbs, spices, or sweet glazes to suit your taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
  • Freeze cooked fries by spreading them individually on a tray first, then transferring to a freezer-safe bag.
  • Reheat in a preheated oven at 400°F (205°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
