Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes Wash and peel before cutting.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For coating the fries.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika For seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For seasoning.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) Optional for garnishing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak sweet potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to restore crunch.
