Preparation
- 1
Peel and Slice Sweet Potatoes
Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler. Cut them into wedges or sticks, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Soak Sweet Potatoes (Optional)
For extra crispiness, you can soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch. After soaking, drain and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help the fries become crispy.

Coat Sweet Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
