Ingredients
  

Fries
  • 2 lbs Sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp Paprika

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cut sweet potatoes with olive oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and paprika; toss until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy; serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the sweet potato fries are spread in a single layer on the baking sheets and don't overcrowd them. Flipping them halfway through cooking also helps achieve an even crisp.
