Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Base
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into fries
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for roasting
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1 2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 1 2 teaspoon smoked paprika adds flavor
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Spatula
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Slice sweet potatoes evenly so the fries roast with similar texture and crispness.
  2. Toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
  3. Spread fries across a baking sheet in a single layer without overlapping pieces.
  4. Roast until edges turn crispy and centers feel tender, flipping halfway through cooking.
  5. Serve immediately while hot for maximum crunch and soft flavorful centers.

Notes

Roast longer for crispier fries or slightly less for softer centers. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet because steam prevents crunch. Freeze uncooked seasoned fries for easier future baking. Handle carefully during flipping to prevent breaking. Customize flavors with parmesan, chili powder, or cinnamon sugar. Store leftovers refrigerated for three days and reheat before serving.
