Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: additional seasonings such as cayenne pepper, cinnamon, or rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Wash the sweet potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients, or peel them if you prefer.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even-sized strips. You can make them thicker or thinner depending on your preference.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, salt, black pepper, and any additional seasonings you'd like to use. Stir well to mix everything together.
- Add the sweet potato strips to the bowl and toss them with the seasoned oil mixture until they're evenly coated.
- Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not overcrowded, as this can make them soggy instead of crispy.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time. Keep a close eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Once the sweet potato fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Based on personal preference, they can be enjoyed with a variety of dipping sauces.
