Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin, even strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure they cook uniformly.

Seasoning

  1. 3

    Season the Sweet Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss well to ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

Baking

  1. 4

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help them crisp up as they bake.

  2. 5

    Bake the Frites

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the frites are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through the baking time for even cooking.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

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