Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Season Sweet Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat the fries evenly.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure they are evenly crispy.

  3. 6

    Check for Doneness

    The sweet potato fries are done when they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oven.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Hot

    Serve the sweet potato fries hot, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
