Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even-sized fries, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the fries and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Chef's Tips
- Even Cutting: Cut the fries as evenly as possible to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Spice Variations: Experiment with different spices like cinnamon or cumin for a unique flavor.
- Extra Crispy: For extra crispiness, soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch.
- Air Fryer Option: These fries can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or spicy ketchup for added flavor.
