Enjoy these crispy and flavorful baked sweet potato fries, a healthier twist on the classic deep-fried version.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy texture.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even strips resembling fries.
Uniform strips ensure even cooking and prevent some fries from burning while others remain undercooked.
In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Coating the fries evenly with oil and seasoning ensures consistent flavor and crispiness.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation for crispier fries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Flipping the fries ensures they cook evenly on all sides.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Allowing the fries to cool slightly helps them firm up and enhances their crispiness.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Pairing with a flavorful dip elevates the taste experience.
