Enjoy a healthier take on fries with these baked sweet potato fries. They’re crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a perfect snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. You can peel them if you prefer, or leave the skin on for extra nutrients and texture.
  3. Cut the sweet potatoes into fry shapes, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Try to make them as uniform as possible for even cooking.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil until lightly coated.
  5. Add the salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  6. Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will cause them to steam instead of crisping up. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
  7. Bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown with crispy edges. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your fries and your oven.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy your healthy fry fix!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and tossing with oil.
  • Feel free to experiment with other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • These fries are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
