Ingredients
2–3 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
2–3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1–2 teaspoons spices of choice (e.g., smoked paprika, chipotle powder, Cajun seasoning, garam masala, pumpkin pie spice)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a heavy baking sheet inside to heat.
- Peel sweet potatoes (optional) and cut into ¼–½-inch wedges or rounds.
- In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and spices until evenly coated.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from oven. Spread fries in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Bake for 15–25 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes, until crispy and browned.
- Cool for 5 minutes before serving to let fries firm up.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat dry before baking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed.
- Sweet potato skins can be left on for added texture and fiber.
