Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • oven

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven creates that crispy exterior we all crave.

Step 2: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  • Peel the sweet potatoes, and then cut them into wedges. Aim for uniform sizes; this allows even cooking.

Step 3: Season and Toss

  • In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges with avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss everything together until the wedges are evenly coated! Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste.

Step 4: Arrange on Baking Sheet

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer. Make sure they have a little space between each fry. This helps achieve that crispy goodness.

Step 5: Roast Them

  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the fries for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, flip the fries to ensure they brown evenly. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning.

Step 6: Let Them Cool

  • Once they’re golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. This step can be challenging, as the aroma is simply irresistible!

Notes

Avoid Overcrowding: Cook in batches if you have a lot of fries. This prevents steaming and promotes crispiness.
Use High-Quality Oil: A good quality oil not only boosts flavor but also helps in crisping up the fries.
Experiment with Spices: Don’t hesitate to play with the spice blend! Try chili powder, cumin, or even curry powder for a unique twist.
Cut Fresh: Fresh sweet potatoes yield the best results. Look for firm sweet potatoes without blemishes.
Save the Scraps: If you have leftover sweet potato skins, roast them with salt and spices for a crunchy snack!
