Sweet potato fries or wedges Recipe

American · Side dish · 45 min total

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these baked sweet potato fries or wedges are a healthier alternative to deep-fried versions and make a perfect snack or side dish.

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs total)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Scrub sweet potatoes and cut off any blemishes. For fries, cut into 1/4-inch thick sticks. For wedges, cut in half lengthwise, then each half into 4-6 wedges.
3. Place cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add olive oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the fries/wedges with a spatula. Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
6. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, soak cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before tossing with oil and seasonings.
• Serve with ketchup, aioli, or ranch dressing.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
