Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

These crispy baked sweet potato fries are golden, flavorful, and guilt-free. Baked not fried they offer the perfect balance of crunch and tenderness, making them a healthier alternative to traditional fries. Ideal as a snack, side dish, or party appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into uniform thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick. Uniform size ensures even cooking.

Season the Fries
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Arrange and Bake
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to ensure crispiness. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are golden and crispy.

Serve
Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Pro Tips for Extra Crispiness

  • Soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch.
  • Use a high-temperature oven and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Flip fries halfway to ensure even browning on all sides.
