Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cutting the Fries
  1. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Seasoning
  1. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
Baking
  1. Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking, then pat them completely dry.
