Description

Crispy and flavorful oven‑baked sweet potato fries coated in cornstarch and spices for extra crunch.


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

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F. Line 1–2 baking sheets with parchment and position racks top & bottom.
  2. Cut sweet potatoes into uniform ¼″‑thick sticks.
  3. In a large bowl, toss fries with cornstarch to coat evenly.
  4. Add oil and spices; toss until well coated.
  5. Spread fries in a single layer on baking sheets, not touching.
  6. Bake 15 minutes, then rotate pans between racks and flip fries.
  7. Bake another 7–10 minutes until golden‑brown and crisp.
  8. 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.
