Print Recipe

Crispy and flavorful sweet potato fries, seasoned with a blend of spices and baked for a healthier alternative to traditional fries. Perfect for snacking or as a side dish, these easy-to-make fries are sure to satisfy your cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as parsley or cilantro)

Instructions

  1. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Peel them using a vegetable peeler, or leave the skin on for added texture.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes into uniform fry shapes, about 1/4 inch wide.
  3. Soak the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  4. Drain and pat the fries dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  5. In a small bowl, mix sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  6. In a large bowl, add the dried fries and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until evenly coated.
  7. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fries and toss again until well coated.
  8. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  9. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  10. Arrange the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  12. Ensure fries are golden brown and crispy. If needed, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  13. Let the fries cool for a couple of minutes and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
  14. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces like garlic aioli or spicy ketchup.
  15. Serve as a snack, side dish, or main course.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure fries are well-dried before seasoning.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning to your taste.
  • Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven.
