Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes cut into 1/4-inch sticks
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two sheet pans with parchment.
  2. Toss the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch, then the oil and spices.
  3. Spread in a single layer with space between the fries.
  4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp at the edges.

Notes

Crowding the pan makes them steam instead of crisp, so use two pans.
