Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help to create crispy waffle fries.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin waffle-shaped fries using a waffle cutter or a knife. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Coat the Sweet Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato fries with olive oil, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until all fries are evenly coated.

  2. 4

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the coated fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper crisping.

  3. 5

    Bake the Waffle Fries

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Hot

    Remove the waffle fries from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with optional toppings such as chili powder, grated Parmesan cheese, or fresh parsley. Serve immediately for the best texture.
