Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. For best results, line two baking pans with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the sweet potatoes into ½-inch wedges. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Be sure each wedge is well coated.
  3. Place the wedges on the prepared sheet pan, skin side down, making sure not to overcrowd them.
  4. Place one baking pan on the lowest rack in the oven and the second baking pan in the top ⅓ of the oven.
  5. Bake until golden brown, about 35-40 minutes, switching the placement of the pans after 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Sweet potato fries are naturally a bit softer in texture compared to regular potatoes. They should be generously oiled for the best texture.
  • Don't cut the fries too thin; this will cause them to burn before they have a chance to crisp on the outside.
  • Additional herbs or seasonings can be added to the fries before baking. If using garlic, garlic powder is recommended as fresh garlic can burn. 
  • Leftover fries can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven until heated through.
