Sweet Potato Fries
Homemade sweet potato fries that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, seasoned with spices and served with a delicious dipping sauce.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheets
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-sized)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil or coconut oil
- 2.5 tsp cornstarch
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1-2 tsp sea salt (or seasoned salt like Lawry’s)
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley optional
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise for dipping sauce
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Peel sweet potatoes and slice them into matchstick-sized fries, about ¼ inch thick.
- Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to remove excess starch.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drain and dry the sweet potato fries thoroughly using paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper.
- Toss sweet potato fries with oil, then add the spice mixture and coat evenly.
- Spread fries out on the baking sheets in a single layer without crowding.
- Bake for 15 minutes, flip with a spatula, and return to the oven for another 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- While fries bake, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika to create the dipping sauce.
- Once fries are done, sprinkle with sea salt and parsley, then serve hot with the dipping sauce.
