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