Oven Roasted Sweet Potato Fries
Oven-roasted sweet potato fries are tossed in olive oil and a spice mix, then baked at a high temperature until crispy and satisfying!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (peeled)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- fine sea salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Slice the sweet potatoes into long, thin strips, about 1/4-inch wide.
- Add the fries to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 60 minutes or even overnight for the best results.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Alternatively, you can use two medium baking sheets; it's important for the fries to have enough room.
- Drain well, then arrange the fries in a single layer on a clean towel and pat dry with paper towels. In the meantime, clean the bowl and dry it thoroughly.
- Add the fries back to the clean bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, tossing until evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, smoked paprika, and black pepper until combined. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the fries, then toss until evenly coated and the cornstarch has soaked into the oil.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Bake for 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven, and flip each fry with a spatula, making sure they are not overlapping. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the fries are crispy and begin to brown a bit.
- Once done, transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack, sprinkle with your desired amount of sea salt, then let the fries rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve warm.
