Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet inside the oven while it heats to get it nice and hot.
- Peel the sweet potatoes if desired and cut them into 1/4 inch thick fries. Try to make them as uniform as possible to ensure they cook evenly.
- Place the cut sweet potato fries in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. This step removes excess starch, which is key to getting crispy fries.
- After soaking, drain and pat the fries dry with paper towels to remove moisture. In a large bowl, toss the fries with: 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- If you're using cornstarch for extra crispiness, sprinkle it in now and toss everything together until well coated.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Spread the fries in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once the fries are crisp and golden, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Crispy Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries!
