Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized thin wedges or sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potato slices and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice and cornstarch mixture over the sweet potatoes in the bowl. Toss well to evenly coat each piece with the seasoning.

Step 6

Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out and not overlapping to ensure maximum crispiness.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and carefully flip the sweet potatoes using a spatula.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are crispy and golden brown.

Step 9

Sprinkle the baked sweet potatoes with dried parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
