Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Fries
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dipping Sauce (Optional)
- Dipping sauce of choice (ketchup, aioli, or ranch)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Season the fries: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until all fries are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded to ensure even baking and crispness.
- Bake to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the fries for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the fries from the oven, let them cool slightly, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning.
- Make sure to spread the fries out in a single layer without overcrowding to avoid steaming and sogginess.
- Flip the fries halfway through baking to ensure even cooking and color on all sides.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, and experiment with different spices like cayenne or cumin for variation.
