Ingredients
- 3-4 sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into ¼-inch sticks
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare two large baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Use a sharp knife to slice close to the edge of one long side of a sweet potato, then set it on the flat, stable side and cut into ¼-inch planks. Stack the planks and slice again into ¼-inch sticks. Repeat with all of the sweet potatoes.
- Soak the fries in ice water for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the fridge to remove excess starch. Drain well and pat dry.
- Transfer the fries to a large ziploc bag and add the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat, then drizzle with the olive oil and toss again.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer with space between the fries so they can get crispy rather than steam while they bake. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- Immediately sprinkle the fries with the salt after removing from the oven, then serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
