Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to resemble fries.
- 2
Soak the Sweet Potatoes
Place the cut sweet potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier when baked.
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for getting the fries crispy.
- 4
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the sweet potato strips and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness.
- 5
Season the Sweet Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cornstarch. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.
- 6
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.
- 7
Bake the Fries
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- 8
Serve
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
