Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper for extra spice
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into evenly sized thin strips using a sharp knife or a vegetable slicer.
  2. Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well coated.
  3. Add paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and cayenne pepper if desired. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot with your favorite dips like hummus, yogurt sauces, or spicy aioli.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can increase baking time slightly or broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Using freshly chopped parsley as a garnish adds a burst of fresh flavor and vibrant appearance.
  • Ensure uniform slicing to promote even baking and crispiness.
