Garlic-Seasoned Baked Sweet Potato Fries are a healthy and tasty alternative to traditional fries. These delightful treats are easy to prepare and packed with nutrients. Enjoy a perfect mix of crispy texture and savory garlic seasoning for a delectable side dish or snack.
Instructions:
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into even, thin fries or wedges – approximately 1/4-inch thick for best results.
3. Season the Fries:
- Place the cut sweet potato fries in a large bowl.
- Lightly spray the fries with a short burst of cooking spray oil, tossing them to ensure an even coat.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder over the fries, followed by the salt. Use your hands to mix well, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray oil.
- Spread the seasoned fries in a single, even layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding; use two baking sheets if necessary to ensure the fries are not touching.
5. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet(s) in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure even baking. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, especially near the end of the bake time.
6. Serve: Remove the fries from the oven. Let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
7. Enjoy: Serve your garlic-seasoned baked sweet potato fries hot as a side dish or a snack.
Tips:
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniformly sized fries to ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings like paprika, cayenne pepper, or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut sweet potato fries in cold water for about 30 minutes before baking. Pat them dry thoroughly before seasoning and baking.
Enjoy your homemade Garlic-Seasoned Baked Sweet Potato Fries as a delicious and nutritious snack or side dish. These fries are perfect for sharing at gatherings or as a satisfying accompaniment to your meals.
