About this recipe

These crispy sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to regular fries. Enhanced with a mix of spices and a unique preparation technique, they achieve the perfect crunch. Serve them as a satisfying side dish or enjoy them as a guilt-free snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even strips.

  2. 2

    Soak the sweet potato strips in ice cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Pat the sweet potato strips completely dry and toss them in a large bowl with olive oil.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper, then sprinkle over the sweet potato strips.

  6. 6

    Spread the coated sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are crispy and golden brown.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Chef's tip

For extra crispiness, ensure the fries are evenly cut and all excess moisture is removed before baking.
