2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika is optional for extra flavor)
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch for extra crispiness
Instructions
-
Prep the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Toss with Cornstarch (Optional): If using, toss sweet potato fries in cornstarch to coat them evenly.
-
Season & Oil: Drizzle the fries with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated.
-
Spread & Bake: Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping. Bake for 15 minutes.

Serve Hot: Remove the fries from the oven and enjoy them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
-
If you want extra crispiness, make sure to use cornstarch in the coating.
-
Smoked paprika can add a delightful smoky flavor to your fries, but regular paprika works just fine too.
-
For a more flavorful experience, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to spice things up.
-
Do not overcrowd the fries on the baking sheet. Spacing them out allows them to bake evenly and crisp up perfectly.
