BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large sweet potatoes, water, corn starch, olive oil, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, shredded parmesan cheese, fresh parsley

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Sides

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large sweet potatoes
water, for soaking
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 tablespoon olive oil, or vegetable oil
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon brown sugar
salt, to taste
shredded parmesan cheese, optional
fresh parsley, optional, chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse and peel sweet potatoes.
  • To cut into fries, cut a small sliver off the edge of the potatoes lengthwise to create a flat side for them to rest on. Turn the potato over to lay on its flat side. Cut each slice lengthwise into three to four fries.
  • Place the fries in a bowl of water and soak for one hour. (This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes so your fries will be crispier.) Rinse and dry off.
  • In a large bowl or gallon bag, toss the fries with cornstarch until they're evenly coated. Then add the oil and toss to coat.
  • Add the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar and toss to evenly distribute your spices. (Hold off on adding the salt until after baking. This will help make sure the fries are crispy.)
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the french fries, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. (You may need two pans, depending on how large your pans are. Avoid overcrowding one pan or your fries may not crisp up.)
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries with tongs, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle on salt (to taste) and serve! Add shredded Parmesan and chopped parsley for an optional garnish.
  • Enjoy!

INA GARTEN'S BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES



Ina Garten's Baked Sweet Potato Fries image

These potatoes are not quite as crispy like fries but they're better for you because they're baked. The serving size says 4, but I eat all of them at one sitting! Adapted from Ina Garten's book,"Back to Basics"(Barefoot Contessa). Ina likes to cut them into fairly large wedges, but I like them smaller(like french fries) because I love the crispiness and get more of it with smaller wedges! Sweet potatoes are available year-round, but their prime season is really autumn and winter. Choose potatoes that are smooth and unblemished, and use them fairly soon because they don't keep as well as other potatoes.

These are just good. Not spicy but very savory baked fries. I love them because there is no frying but still crunchy. The dip is a nice sweet and savory flavor which really makes these unique.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 Servings of Fries, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into thin fires)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces plain yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 lime, juice of
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon grated onion (important to grate not chop)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Potatoes -- Two important things to note when making these. First. Cut all the fries approximately the same size. Second, make sure to cook directly on the cookie sheet. No foil or parchment paper. After cutting the sweet potatoes fries add to a medium size bowl with the olive oil and seasoning and toss well to combine. Add to the cookie sheet and make sure then are not laying on top of one another. They need some space so they can brown up.
  • Bake -- In a 425 degree oven bake them for 15 minutes and then flip. Guys, they will be soft, they aren't done but be careful flipping them. Bake another 20 minutes until crispy.
  • Dip -- As the fries bake, make the dip. Just mix it all in a small bowl and refrigerate. Nothing more. Grating the onion is important as it gives you a lot more flavor. Just enjoy, these are a great change from the average french fries.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoons pure maple syrup or brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more for more heat)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or fine-grain sea salt + more to taste
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (I use full-fat)
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
1-2 garlic cloves (smashed and finely minced (about 2 heaping teaspoons))
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon fresh minced dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Scrub sweet potatoes or peel off the skin, if you desire (I like to leave it on). Cut sweet potatoes into approx. 1/4-inch matchsticks. Put sweet potatoes into a large bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch over the top. Toss with your clean hands until all of the fries are coated. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again. Add maple syrup or brown sugar, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss until all of the fries are coated.
  • Lay fries on a baking sheet, making sure there is a little space around each fry - don't crowd or pile them! Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to use two (I do).
  • Place in oven and bake until golden brown and many are crisp, about 25 minutes, turning carefully at right around the 15 minute mark. Remove fries from oven and let cool a bit.
  • While the fries are baking, make your ranch dip. In a small bowl, stir together all of the dip ingredients. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
  • Add more salt to the fries if you like. Serve warm with the ranch dip.

BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH AVOCADO DIP

Categories     Potato     Side     Bake     Super Bowl     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Healthy     Vegan

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Sweet Potato Fries
-2 lg sweet potatoes cut into 4 inch long & 1/4-1/2 inch thick fries
-2 tbsp olive oil
-1 tsp smoked paprika
-1/2 tsp ancho chili powder
-1/2 tsp ground coriander
salt & pepper to taste
Avocado Dip
-1 Hass avocado
-1/3 cup mayonnaise (can use yogurt, low or non-fat)
-1/3 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature
-1 jalapeno, seeded & chopped
-2 green onions, white & light green parts only, chopped
-juice of 1 lime
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Sweet Potato Fries -Preheat oven to 450 degrees F -Place sweet potatoes in large bowl & toss with olive oil until coated. -Add paprika, chili powder, coriander, salt & pepper. -Toss to coat evenly -Arrange fries in single layer on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. -Bake on lower rack of oven for 20 minutes until fries soften. -Move baking sheet to upper rack of oven for 10 minutes more, until fries are crispy. Avocado Dip -Place avocado, mayonnaise, cream cheese, jalapeno, onion and lime juice in blender or food processor. -Blend for 1 minute or until a smooth paste is created. -Season with salt & pepper. -Serve as dip with fries.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best fries, select sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: To ensure that the fries cook evenly, cut the potatoes into uniform strips. This will help them cook at the same rate and prevent some from becoming overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: Soaking the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before baking helps to remove excess starch and prevents them from becoming sticky.
  • Season the potatoes well: Be generous with the seasonings when preparing the fries. This will help them develop a flavorful crust and make them more enjoyable to eat.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When baking the fries, make sure to spread them out evenly on the baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the fries from cooking evenly and will result in soggy fries.
  • Bake the fries until crispy: The fries are done baking when they are golden brown and crispy. Check on them regularly to ensure that they don't overcook and become burnt.

Conclusion:

Baked sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried potatoes. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a snack or as a side dish. With their naturally sweet flavor and crispy texture, these fries are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. You can experiment with different seasonings and toppings to create your own unique flavor combinations.
