# What You’ll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 large sweet potatoes (approximately 1.3 pounds), peeled
→ Seasonings
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon sea salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
→ Serving
07 - Chopped fresh parsley
08 - Dipping sauce of choice (such as aioli or ketchup)
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
02 - Slice the peeled sweet potatoes into uniform fry-shaped pieces, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Consistent sizing ensures even cooking.
03 - Place the cut fries in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.
04 - Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure adequate spacing between pieces to promote proper crisping—avoid overcrowding.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes to develop initial crispness.
06 - Carefully flip each fry using a spatula. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown with crisp edges.
07 - Remove from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by your preferred dipping sauce.
