Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potato fries.

  2. 2

    Wash and Peel the Sweet Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes under running water. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skins, if desired.

  3. 3

    Cut the Sweet Potatoes

    Cut the sweet potatoes into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.

Seasoning and Baking

  1. 4

    Season the Sweet Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the cut sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

  2. 5

    Arrange on a Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.

  3. 6

    Bake the Fries

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through for even browning, until they are crispy and golden brown.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve and Enjoy

    Remove the sweet potato fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
