Crispy and flavorful sweet potato fries baked to perfection, seasoned with paprika and garlic powder, making a delicious and healthy alternative to regular fries. Perfect as a snack or side dish served with your favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Fries

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Dipping Sauce

  • Dipping sauce of choice (ketchup, aioli, or ranch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Season Fries: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cut sweet potato fries together with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until all fries are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking and crispiness.
  4. Bake Fries: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become crispy and golden brown.
  5. Serve: Remove the fries from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, aioli, or ranch for added flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispy fries, soak cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary to ensure fries crisp up properly.
  • Flip fries halfway through baking to promote even crispiness on all sides.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent fries from sticking.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste for spicier or milder fries.
