Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. If you prefer, you can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients—just make sure to scrub them well.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even-sized fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep them as uniform as possible for even cooking.
3. Season the Fries:
- Place the sweet potato fries in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the fries and toss to coat them evenly.
- Add the salt and finely chopped rosemary to the bowl. Toss again to ensure the fries are well-coated with the seasoning.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping, as this will help them bake evenly and become crispy.
5. Bake the Fries:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly on both sides. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as different ovens may vary in cooking times.
6. Finishing Touches:
- Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven.
- Allow the fries to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to help them firm up.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the sea salt and rosemary sweet potato fries to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately while they are still warm and crispy. They make a perfect side dish or snack!
