Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons optional seasoning (e.g., chili powder, cumin, or dried herbs)

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 (optional if you prefer the skin on). Slice them into thin even strips about 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato strips into a large bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss until the fries are lightly coated.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the coated sweet potato fries and toss again to evenly distribute the oil.

Step 5

Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and any optional seasoning of your choice. Toss well until all the fries are evenly coated in spices.

Step 6

Spread the sweet potato fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the fries to ensure they crisp up properly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the fries over using a spatula and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fries are golden-brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
