Description
Crispy oven-baked sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthier alternative to regular fries, packed with nutrients and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Toss the cut sweet potato fries with olive oil in a large bowl, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Sprinkle in the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, and toss again until evenly seasoned.
- Arrange the fries on a lined baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
