Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures the fries will cook evenly and become crispy.

Wash and Peel Sweet Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes under running water. If desired, peel the skins using a vegetable peeler for a smoother texture.

Cut Sweet Potatoes
Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized sticks or wedges, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. This helps them cook uniformly.

Season the Fries
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the sweet potato sticks and toss until evenly coated.

Arrange on Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.

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