Sweet Potato Fries Ingredients

Method

Sweet Potato Fries Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the fries.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide, to ensure they cook evenly.

  3. 3

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Ensure each fry is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    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 even cooking.

  5. 5

    Bake the Fries

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.
