How to Make Sweet Potato Fries | Step-by-Step Recipe
Crispy baked sweet potato fries tossed with olive oil, smoked paprika and garlic powder, ready to serve in under an hour. A simple, wholesome vegan side dish or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- salt and ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt. You don't have to peel them, but I prefer to.
- Cut each sweet potato in half lengthways, then into wedges or fries.
- Place them in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle over some salt, ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss together until evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potato fries or wedges evenly in a single layer on an oven tray.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until crispy.
- Serve with a dipping sauce of choice.
Notes
Spread the fries in a single layer with space between them for maximum crispiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven or air fryer (not the microwave) to keep them crisp.
