Description

Enjoy guilt-free crispy sweet potato fries with this easy oven-baked recipe! Lightly seasoned with garlic, paprika, and a touch of cornstarch for perfect crispiness, these fries are naturally gluten-free, vegan, and perfect as a healthy snack or side dish.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
    • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized thin fries (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure even cooking.
  3. Coat the Fries:
    • In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil until evenly coated.
    • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until fully coated.
  4. Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
    • Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Overlapping fries will steam instead of crisp.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the fries using a spatula. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, chipotle mayo, or a tangy yogurt dip.

Notes

  • For Extra Crispiness: After tossing the fries in cornstarch and seasonings, let them sit for 10 minutes before baking to allow the coating to stick better.
  • Storage: Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness.
  • Customizations: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy twist or sprinkle with fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley after baking.
