Sweet Potato Fries

These sweet potato fries are a deliciously healthy alternative to traditional fries, offering a perfect balance of crispy edges and tender insides. Seasoned to perfection, they make a fantastic side dish or snack that’s both satisfying and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for added heat

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) until evenly coated.
3. Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure crispiness.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a dipping sauce of your choice.
