Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Fries
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl
  • Knife
  • Peeler

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into uniform 1/4-inch-thick fries.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Baking
  1. Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  2. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the fries and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Remove the sweet potato fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, try soaking the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking. Ensure fries are in a single layer for even cooking, and adjust baking time based on your oven and desired crispness.
