Ingredients
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips, like fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Potatoes tend to stick to foil, so if you don’t have parchment paper just use a non-stick sided baking sheet.** I baked this batch right on my very well-seasoned baking sheet which gave them this darker sort of spotty appearance. Using parchment paper helps to prevent this and they seem to crisp up a little better**
  2. In a large bowl toss the potatoes with the olive oil, coating them on all sides evenly.
  3. Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with the kosher salt and paprika.
  4. Toss again to coat with the seasoning. Lay the sweet potato slices out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Bake them for 10-15 minutes and then, using a spatula,flip the fries so they will brown evenly. Bake for another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Look for the color of the fries to become more matte than shiny in appearance. The sweet potatoes will also puff up a little bit while they’re baking. All good things. Turn them again if you think they need more time (this will depend on how you sliced them). If you don’t bake them long enough the fries won’t be crispy, and that’s not great. Once they’re done, serve them immediately! Hot fries are the best kind.
