Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
Seasoning & Coating
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450℉ to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the fries properly.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and skin for a smooth texture.
- Cut Fries: Slice the peeled sweet potatoes into evenly sized fries or wedges to ensure even cooking.
- Mix Ingredients: Place the cut sweet potatoes into a large resealable bag, then add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and cornstarch into the bag.
- Coat Fries: Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until all sweet potato pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and cornstarch mixture.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Bake Fries: Spread the coated sweet potato fries in a single even layer on the baking sheet to avoid overcrowding.
- Flip and Continue Baking: Bake for 20 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking to encourage even browning on all sides.
- Check Doneness: Remove when fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but tender inside.
Notes
- Cut fries evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Use cornstarch to achieve extra crispiness on the fries.
- Flip fries halfway through baking to promote even browning.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Can be seasoned with additional herbs or spices based on preference.
