Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving crispy edges.
  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Once peeled, cut them into even-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a paste.
  • Add the sweet potato strips to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the mixture.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Soak cut sweet potatoes in water for 30 minutes before coating for extra crispiness.
  • Don't skip the cornstarch; it's essential for that perfect crunch.
  • Feel free to experiment with spices like cumin or chili powder for a twist.
