# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main
01 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch (this one’s for crunch, only if you want it)
02 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
03 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
04 -
2 medium sweet potatoes, leave the peels on if you like, cut into chunky fries
05 -
1 teaspoon salt
06 -
1 teaspoon smoked or regular paprika
07 -
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Give the fries a few minutes to chill out after baking, then eat right away with your favorite dip.
02 -
Pop the fries in for 20 minutes, flip them around, and cook for 10 to 15 more minutes till they turn crispy and golden.
03 -
Lay fries out on your baking sheet so they’re all in just one layer. Don’t pile them up.
04 -
Toss sweet potato sticks with oil, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a big bowl. If you go for cornstarch, dust that on and mix again to coat every fry.
05 -
Chop sweet potatoes into thick fries, try to keep them similar in size so they cook evenly.
06 -
Heat your oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with some parchment paper to make cleanup easy.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Want even crispier results? Soak the fries-to-be in cold water for half an hour, dry them well, and don’t pack the pans too full.
02 -
Stash any extras in the fridge in something airtight—they’ll keep up to 3 days. To crisp them up again, just warm in the oven at 190°C for 10 minutes.
03 -
Change things up by trying cayenne or even a generous dusting of parmesan cheese before you dig in.
04 -
If you’d rather use an air fryer, set it to 190°C, cook for 12 to 15 minutes, and remember to give the basket a good shake halfway.
