Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon salt preferably sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes in strips about ¼ - ½ inch thick and place in a bowl.
- Add the cornstarch and stir, or if the bowl has a lid, put the lid on and shake it.
- Add the olive oil and all of the seasonings, then stir or shake until all of the strips are covered almost evenly.
- Spread the fries out evenly on the baking sheet, do not overlap, you may need to bake these in batches depending on the size of your baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes then flip and bake for another 10-15 minutes until they become slightly dark.
- Allow to cool slightly and enjoy with your favorite dip!
Notes
- Line the pan with parchment paper or foil. I would spray the foil with nonstick spray so it doesn't stick.
- Let them cool slightly before you try them.
- Don't skip the cornstarch step as this makes them the crispiest sweet potato fries you have ever tried.
- Skip the spices and just use salt and pepper if you like. I love mine with Italian seasoning.
- For some heat, I like a little chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- When baking these, make sure you have them in only 1 layer. Spread them out to get heat on all sides.
- You may need to bake these in batches depending on the size of your sheet pan.
- If you happen to have some fries that come out darker than the others, that's ok. Smaller and thinner fries will caramelize quicker and get sweeter.
