Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Peel Sweet Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the skins using a vegetable peeler.
- 2
Cut Sweet Potatoes into Fries
Slice the peeled sweet potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble fries. Try to keep them uniform in size for even cooking.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to make the fries crispy.
- 4
Season the Sweet Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss well until all fries are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- 5
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper crisping.
- 6
Bake the Fries
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. They should be golden and crispy when done.

Serve
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot in a basket or on a plate, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or additional seasoning.
