Sweet Potato Fries in the Oven
Fries are arguably one of the best appetizers and these sweet potato fries in the oven are a wonderful variation. The fries are lightly sweet, seasoned, and oven-baked to a tender finish! Enjoy this tasty appetizer guilt-free!
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potatoes
- 1½ Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and prep a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Slice peeled potatoes into fries, about a ½-inch thick.
- Arrange fries on the baking sheet and drizzle with oil, tossing to combine.
- In a small bowl combine the seasonings and disperse seasoning evenly over sweet potatoes and toss until fries are seasoned.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden and the fries have reached the desired doneness.
- Serve the fries with your favorite dip and enjoy!
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave space between each fry to ensure they cook evenly and don’t steam.
- Shape of the fries: Don’t be afraid to experiment with the shape of your fries! Cut into thick or thin strips, and even wedges for a fun variation!
- Crispy fries: For an extra crunch factor, broil your fries for a few minutes after baking. They will develop a slight char that is great for flavor.
