# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled if you like and cut into fries
02 -
2 tablespoons good olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
1 teaspoon paprika (try smoked paprika for extra flavor)
05 -
1 teaspoon salt
06 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Optional Extra
07 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch for extra crispiness
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven super hot - 425°F (220°C). Pop a baking sheet in there while it heats up - this helps make your fries extra crispy.
02 -
Peel those sweet potatoes if you want (it's totally optional), then cut them into fries about 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep them all about the same size so they cook evenly.
03 -
Soak your cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes. This pulls out extra starch and helps them get nice and crispy later.
04 -
Drain those fries and dry them really well with paper towels. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil and all your seasonings. If you're using cornstarch, add it now and give everything a good mix.
05 -
Carefully pull out that hot baking sheet and spread your fries in a single layer - don't crowd them! Pop them in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
06 -
Once they're golden brown and crispy, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes before diving in.
# Notes:
01 -
Soaking the fries helps remove excess starch for better crispiness
02 -
Using cornstarch creates an extra crispy coating
03 -
Preheating the baking sheet helps prevent sticking
