Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries
These sweet potato fries are crispy, spicy, sweet, and make the best side dish or snack!
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cumin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Wash off your sweet potatoes and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Carefully slice the sweet potatoes into ¼" fry-shaped pieces.
- Toss the sweet potatoes with just olive oil and salt. (Don't add remaining seasonings yet.)
- Spread out the sweet potato slices on baking sheets, leaving space between each piece. This will help them get crispy. Don't overcrowd the pan or they will never crisp!
- Bake sweet potatoes for 25 minutes or until desired crispiness, flipping them over halfway through for even cooking.
- After they're cooked, let cool for 5 minutes and then toss with remaining seasonings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Waiting until afterwards to season the potatoes prevents the seasonings and spices from burning in the oven!
- Let cool completely, then refrigerate leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
