Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 266kcal
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/4'' sticks
- 1 tbsp kosher salt divided
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/8 tsp coriander
- 1/8 tsp cumin
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- sea salt flakes optional
Instructions
- Place the raw sweet potato sticks in a large bowl, add enough cold water to cover the fries, then sprinkle 2 tsp. of the salt over the top. Allow to sit for 1 hour, or more time if possible.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius). Place a rimmed cookie sheet (standard size) in the oven to heat. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the sheet, and set it aside.
- Drain the fries and place them in a large plastic bag with the cornstarch, paprika, garlic, black pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper, coriander, and cumin. Leave a little bit of air in the bag, zip, and shake until evenly coated. Use the same bowl to toss the fries in the oil.
- Remove the sheet from the oven, place the parchment paper over top, and then carefully toss the fries on, making sure they have space in between to bake (you don't want them to steam). Bake for 20 minutes, toss, then bake for 10-15 minutes more, or until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
-These sweet potato fries are best eaten straight from the oven! Because sweet potatoes are so moist, the fries tend to get soft after about 15-20 minutes.
To STORE Baked Sweet Potato Fries, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can FREEZE them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
To REHEAT, bake the fries in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until crisp. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the fries soggy.
