Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Here is what you'll need!

Ingredients:

2 large sweet potatoes
Water (for soaking)
2 Tbsp. corn starch
1 Tbsp. olive oil (or vegetable oil)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp brown sugar
Salt (to taste)
Shredded parmesan (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions:

Rinse and peel sweet potatoes. To cut into fries, cut a small sliver off the edge of the potatoes lengthwise to create a flat side for them to rest on. Turn the potato over to lay on its flat side. Then cut lengthwise into 4-5 long slices (or 1/4-3/8 inch slices). Cut each slice lengthwise into 3-4 fries (1/4-3/8 inch).

Place the fries in a bowl of water and soak for 1 hour. (This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes so your fries will be crispier.)

Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C.

Rinse and dry off. In a large bowl or gallon bag, toss the fries with cornstarch until they’re evenly coated. Then add the oil and toss to coat. Add the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar and toss to evenly distribute your spices. (Hold off on adding the salt until after baking. This will help make sure the fries are crispy.)

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the french fries, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. (You may need two pans, depending on how large your pans are. Avoid overcrowding one pan or your fries may not crisp up.)

Bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries with tongs, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Sprinkle on salt (to taste) and serve! Add shredded parmesan and chopped parsley for an optional garnish. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Love the fact that they’re straight to the point. Really not trying to hear how much your kids love them or how simple it is to make.

[sajini]

This took me longer to make than expected

WARNING! If you don't space the fries in the tray far enough or exactly how it shows in the video they won't turn crispy. Mine turned limp fries. lol

[jasminemilum]

The first recipe I've completed from tasty after all of these years! came out flawlessly!

Can we take a moment to appreciate tasty's editing skills

Should use an oil with a higher smoke point ie Avocado oil. At 425-450 F, Olive oil just leaves burnt spots on the fries

I put my fries to soak in salt water, just cornstarch, no seasoning and no sugar. The fries are naturally sweet already. Taste great

Potato is one of the most popular and delicious foods In the world I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing this video my friend

Recommend using parchment paper instead of foil because the sweet potato sticks to foil

[jasminetoor]

Turned out great, followed it to a T. If you space them and flip them half way through they are crispier. Obviously not as crispy as deep fried ones but I found them to be really tasty.

[durgapenmetsa]

One tip is rub some oil before putting fries and 300 degrees is enough to become crispy. keep it for some more min.
