Crispy Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries are a healthier alternative to deep-fried fries—golden and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Easy to make and naturally gluten-free, they’re a perfect snack or side dish.

Ingredients

  • 2–3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into thin, even fries.
  3. Toss fries with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  4. Drizzle with oil, then toss with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange fries in a single layer on baking sheets, leaving space between each piece.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flip the fries, then bake for another 10–15 minutes until crisp and golden. Watch carefully near the end to prevent burning.
  7. Let fries cool on the tray for a few minutes to crisp up further before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—spread fries in a single layer for best results.
  • Try different seasonings like cinnamon and sugar for a sweet version.
  • Leave skins on for added fiber and texture.
  • Serve with dips like garlic aioli, ketchup, or chipotle mayo.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
