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!

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 medium sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine all spices in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 450ºF. Wash potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Do not peel them.
  • Slice each potato into french-fry-like wedges (about 10 fries per potato, depending on the size of the potato). Toss fries in a large bowl with olive oil until well-coated, then toss with spice blend.
  • Spread fries evenly on a non-stick baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8 minutes. Turn fries over and bake an additional 7 minutes, or until tender. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fries. Make sure you don't over-bake them, or they'll be soggy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Select sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Look for potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are not cut evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings before baking: This will help them crisp up and develop flavor. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or melted coconut oil. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other desired spices.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy. Bake the potatoes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Sweet potato fries are best served hot and crispy. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Homemade baked sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a batch of crispy, golden brown sweet potato fries that are sure to satisfy your cravings.
