Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Learn how to make the crunchiest sweet potato fries at home! Oven baked, not fried, for a 100% guiltless treat.
ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Peel the sweet potato and cut it into fry-shaped pieces, approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick. Try to cut it into similarly sized pieces, so they can bake evenly.
- Toss the fries into a mixing bowl or a plastic bag, and sprinkle them with cornstarch. Make sure they're evenly coated, and remove any excess cornstarch.
- Pour in a teaspoon (or more) of olive oil, to lightly coat the fries. Season with salt and spices of your choice.
- Spread the fries on a non-stick baking sheet (or lined with baking paper). Arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they're not overcrowded (see pictures).
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the fries so they can cook on all sides. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the fries are crispy.
- You’ll know they’re done when the surface of the fries changes from bright orange to a slightly warmer tone, and the edges start to turn dark brown. Serve right away.
