Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• Sea salt

Preparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.

2. 2

   Wash and peel the sweet potatoes if desired, then cut them into evenly sized fry-shaped sticks to ensure consistent cooking.

3. 3

   Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl, add olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.

4. 4

   Toss thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until all fries are evenly coated with oil and spices.

5. 5

   Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to allow proper crisping.

6. 6

   Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on all sides.

7. 7

   Once golden and slightly crisp on the edges, remove from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
