Ingredients
2 pounds (about 3 large) orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 to 2 tablespoons spice blend of your choice (e.g., chipotle powder, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (or up to 500°F for extra crispiness). Place a heavy baking sheet inside to heat.
- Peel sweet potatoes, trim ends, and cut into ¼ to ½‑inch thick wedges or rounds.
- In a large bowl, toss sweet potato pieces with olive oil, salt, and chosen spices until evenly coated.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet and spread fries out in a single layer.
- Bake for 15–25 minutes. Flip all fries after 10 minutes, then continue baking until golden and crispy.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow them to crisp up.
Notes
- Leave skin on for added texture and nutrients—just scrub well.
- Use melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Try sugar for caramelized edges or spice blends like curry or Italian seasoning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed for even crisping.
