Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Fries:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Coat sweet potato matchsticks: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato matchsticks with cornstarch until lightly coated.
  3. Season and bake: Drizzle with olive oil, add paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread on baking sheets, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Bake, flipping once, until crispy and golden.

Notes

  • To achieve maximum crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheets and use cornstarch for coating.
