Baked sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fries. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the bold flavors of garlic, paprika, and black pepper, creating a savory treat that's perfect for any meal or as a snack.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure the oven is hot enough to give the sweet potato fries a nice crispy texture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent the sweet potato fries from sticking.
Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes under running water. Peel them if you prefer, or leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
Cut the sweet potatoes into even, thin slices to ensure they cook evenly. Aim for fry-like shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato slices, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well until each slice is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. This will help them bake evenly and become crispy.
Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through baking (around 10-12 minutes), take the baking sheet out and flip the fries to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
The fries are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. If they need more time, bake for an additional 5 minutes, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This will help them firm up and become crispier.
Transfer the baked sweet potato fries to a serving dish. They are perfect on their own or served with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips:
- Choose firm and unblemished sweet potatoes for the best results.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform fries to ensure even cooking.
- Soaking the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking can help make them crispier.
- Preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Flip the fries halfway through baking for even crispiness on both sides.
With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can make delicious baked sweet potato fries that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. By following these tips, you'll be able to achieve perfect fries every time. Enjoy them as a side dish, a snack, or even on their own!
