Description
A healthier alternative to traditional fries, these crispy, sweet, and savory sweet potato fries offer vitamin A and fiber while achieving restaurant-quality crunch through science-driven baking techniques.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes (1/4-inch sticks)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch (for moisture management)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Cut sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks
Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat completely dry
Toss potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated
Sprinkle cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the bowl, tossing until potatoes are well-coated
Spread in a single layer on preheated baking sheet
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crisp
Notes
Preheat baking sheet at least 10 minutes before use
Cornstarch creates a moisture-absorbing barrier for extra crispiness
Adjust seasoning amounts based on preference
