Crispy oven-baked sweet potato fries seasoned for flavor and perfect golden texture every time.
# What You'll Need:
→ Main
01 -
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled if desired, cut into 1 cm thick fries
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
05 -
1 teaspoon salt
06 -
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for extra crispiness)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Slice sweet potatoes into evenly sized fries, about 1 cm thick, for consistent baking.
03 -
In a large bowl, toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. If using cornstarch, sprinkle over the fries and toss again for an even coating.
04 -
Spread fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
05 -
Bake for 20 minutes, flip each fry, then continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
06 -
Remove fries from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For crispier fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, dry thoroughly before seasoning, and do not overcrowd the baking sheet.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 190°C oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
03 -
Experiment with seasonings such as cayenne pepper or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving.
04 -
For an air-fried approach, cook fries at 190°C for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
