Ingredients of Sweet Potato Fries
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions for making Sweet Potato Fries:
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: After peeling and cutting the sweet potatoes into thin strips, place them in a large bowl. Make sure the strips are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Season the Fries: Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato strips. In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the sweet potatoes. Toss everything together until the sweet potato strips are evenly coated with oil and spices.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there is some space between each strip to ensure they crisp up nicely.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them to ensure they are golden brown and crispy but not burnt.
Season to Taste: Once done, remove the fries from the oven and immediately season them with salt and black pepper to taste. You can also sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for added flavor and color if desired.
Serve: Serve the crispy sweet potato fries warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as a tasty side dish.
Enjoy your delicious, Sweet Potato Fries!
