Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne for extra heat
Instructions
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil until well coated.
- Add paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and any optional spices. Mix thoroughly to evenly season the fries.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, not overlapping.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
- For extra crunch, bake on a wire rack set over the baking sheet to allow air circulation.
Notes
- To store leftovers, cool completely and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes or in an air fryer for best crispiness.
- You can customize the seasonings with chili powder, cayenne, or other spices for different flavors.
