Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Preparation steps

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.


Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the cut sweet potato fries with cornstarch. This helps absorb moisture and makes them extra crispy.


Step 3

Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss thoroughly until all fries are evenly coated.


Step 4

Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded, leaving space between each fry for air circulation, which is crucial for crispiness. You may need to use two baking sheets.


Step 5

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning as oven temperatures can vary.


Step 6

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
