Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Soak the Potato Sticks
Soak the sweet potato sticks in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the fries cook evenly and become crispy.
- 4
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the sweet potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy texture.
- 5
Season the Fries
In a large bowl, toss the dried sweet potato sticks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- 6
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure they are not crowded to allow for even cooking.
- 7
Bake the Fries
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- 8
Serve
Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious snack or side dish.
