Method
Preparation

Peeling and Cutting Sweet Potatoes
Peel the sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler. Cut each sweet potato into crinkle-cut fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick. You can use a crinkle cutter or a knife to achieve the crinkle shape.

Soaking Fries
Place the crinkle-cut sweet potato fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Cooking
- 3
Preheating the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help to crisp the fries.

Draining and Drying
After soaking, drain the sweet potato fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Coating the Fries
In a large bowl, toss the dried sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until they are evenly coated.

Baking the Fries
Spread the coated fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

Cooling and Serving
Once baked, remove the sweet fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
