Sweet Potato Fries
Sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthier alternative to regular fries, offering a sweet, crispy outside with a soft, tender inside.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Optional seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, or cinnamon
Instructions
- Set your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash and peel the sweet potato.
- Cut into even stick-shaped fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.
- Toss the sweet potato fries in a bowl with olive oil and salt. Add any additional seasonings you prefer, such as a sprinkle of paprika for a smoky flavor or cinnamon for a sweet twist.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they aren't touching too much. This helps them become crispier.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Halfway through, flip the fries to ensure even cooking.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. They are best served warm and can be accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or a homemade yogurt dip.
Note
- Feel free to add chopped herbs like chives or parsley or green coriander for added flavor. For a heartier meal, include diced ham or sautéed vegetables.
