They're simple to make and require just a few ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Start by washing and peeling the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Uniformity helps them cook evenly.
- Place the sweet potato strips in a large bowl.
- Drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to make sure all pieces are coated evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of salt.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the sweet potatoes, tossing them evenly to coat all the fries.
- Arrange the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to promote even cooking.
- Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven.
- Allow them to cool for a minute before serving. This helps them crisp up even more.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful oven-baked sweet potato fries!
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut sweet potato fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps to remove excess starch.
- Ensure that the fries are evenly coated with olive oil and spices to achieve a uniform flavor and color.
- Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and to prevent them from steaming and becoming soggy.
- Halfway through baking, flip the fries to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
- Keep an eye on the fries during the last few minutes of baking to prevent them from burning.
Congratulations! You've just made delicious oven baked sweet potato fries. Enjoy them on their own, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra treat. With their perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, these fries are sure to become a favorite in your household.
