Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet inside the oven while it heats to get it nice and hot.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes if desired. Cut them into 1/4 inch thick fries. Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking.
  3. Place the cut sweet potato fries in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Soaking removes excess starch, which is crucial for getting crispy fries.
  4. After soaking, drain and pat the fries dry with paper towels to remove moisture. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. If using cornstarch for extra crispiness, sprinkle it in now and mix thoroughly.
  5. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Spread the fries in a single layer on the sheet without overcrowding them. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once they are beautifully crisp and golden, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
