Description

As a passionate home cook, I find joy in transforming simple ingredients into delightful dishes. One of my all-time favorites is the crispy sweet potato fries recipe. These fries are not just a side dish; they are a celebration of flavor and texture that can elevate any meal. I remember the first time I made them. The aroma of sweet potatoes roasting in the oven filled my kitchen, and I couldn’t wait to dig in!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Select and wash the sweet potatoes, then peel them.
  2. Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Toss the fries in a bowl with olive oil to coat them evenly.
  4. Add the spice mix to the fries and toss again to ensure they are well coated.
  5. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • Soak the fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking for extra crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
  • Experiment with different spices and toppings for variety.
