Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Description
Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries combine simple ingredients and a baking method that results in fries with a satisfying texture. They are sliced into sticks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick to promote even cooking. Coated with olive oil and seasoned with paprika, cumin, and kosher salt, these fries develop a gentle spice and a touch of warmth from the paprika and cumin. Baking at 450 degrees Fahrenheit crisps the outside while keeping the fries tender inside. Remember to arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet without crowding, and flip them once during baking to promote even crispness. These fries make a practical side or snack and can be reheated or stored for a few days without losing much texture.
