Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), scrubbed & cut into 1/4″ fries
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 °F. Line 1–2 baking sheets with parchment and position racks top & bottom.
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform ¼″‑thick sticks.
- In a large bowl, toss fries with cornstarch to coat evenly.
- Add oil and spices; toss until well coated.
- Spread fries in a single layer on baking sheets, not touching.
- Bake 15 minutes, then rotate pans between racks and flip fries.
- Bake another 7–10 minutes until golden‑brown and crisp.
- Let cool 2 minutes; serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak cut fries in cold water 30 min, drain & dry before tossing with cornstarch.
- Don’t overcrowd pans—use two sheets if needed.
- Season fries with salt and spices right after baking to avoid burning spices.
- Best served fresh; reheat leftovers at 350 °F until crisp.
