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!

BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES



Baked Sweet Potato Fries image

Ditch the deep fryer and preheat your oven for the crispiest-ever baked sweet potato fries.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil, canola oil or melted unsalted butter
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Paprika or desired spices, for sprinkling (optional)
Ketchup and/or ranch dressing, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  • Put the potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Season with salt, pepper and your choice of other spices, if using, and toss to coat. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast the potatoes, flipping once if their bottoms darken quickly, until tender and crispy, about 20 minutes, depending on their size. Serve with ketchup and/or ranch, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. This will ensure that they bake evenly and have a good texture.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized fries so that they cook evenly. If the fries are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as crispy.
  • Toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking. This will help them to brown and crisp up in the oven.
  • Bake the sweet potato fries at a high temperature (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flipping the fries halfway through cooking will help them to cook evenly.
  • Serve the sweet potato fries with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

These healthy baked sweet potato fries are a delicious and nutritious snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their crispy texture and sweet flavor, these fries are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
