Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prepare sweet potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Coat fries: Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large ziplock bag. Add olive oil to the bag, followed by salt, garlic powder, and cinnamon to taste. Seal the bag tightly and shake it vigorously to coat the fries evenly with the seasoning mixture.
-
Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring that there is some space between each fry. This allows for even cooking and ensures that they become crispy.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
-
Flip: After 10 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the fries over using a spatula to ensure even cooking on both sides.
-
Continue baking: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
-
Cool: Once done, remove the sweet potato fries from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows them to firm up slightly and become even crispier.
-
Serve: Serve the sweet potato fries hot, either as a standalone snack or as a delicious side dish. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce – ranch dressing works wonders and adds a creamy tang that perfectly complements the sweetness of the fries.
-
Customization: Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your taste preferences. You can use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes for a classic fry experience, or experiment with different seasonings like taco seasoning for a spicy kick.
Enjoy the crunchy goodness of these homemade sweet potato fries – a healthier twist on a classic favorite that’s sure to satisfy your cravings!
Enjoy your cooking adventure! 🍠🍟
