Sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to regular fries. They offer a sweet, crispy texture that pairs well with various dips and seasonings. This recipe is simple and easy to follow, requiring just a few ingredients to achieve a perfect batch of sweet potato fries.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
- Peel the sweet potatoes if desired (this is optional; leaving the skin on will add extra nutrients and a bit more crispiness).
- Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until it becomes frothy. This will help the spices adhere to the sweet potato fries and give them a nice crunchy texture.
- Add the spice mix to the egg white and whisk again to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Add the cut sweet potatoes to the bowl with the egg white and spice mixture.
- Toss the sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated. You may use your hands or a spatula to ensure each fry is well covered.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Spread the coated sweet potato fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd them, which can cause them to steam rather than bake and crisp.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy on all sides.
- The sweet potato fries should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Depending on your oven, cooking times may vary slightly, so keep an eye on them.
- If they are not crispy enough, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes as needed.
- Once the sweet potato fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These fries are great on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Choose equally sized sweet potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into equal-sized strips for uniformity.
- Soak the cut sweet potatoes in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and make them crispier.
- Coat the fries evenly with egg white for a crispy texture.
- Preheat the oven to ensure that the fries start cooking immediately and become crispy.
- Flip the fries halfway through baking to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
- Allow the fries to cool slightly before serving to let them crisp up further.
Sweet potato fries are a versatile side dish or snack that can easily be customized to suit your taste. With their crispy texture and sweet flavor, they make a great addition to any meal.
