Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Description
This recipe slices sweet potatoes into fry-sized pieces that are evenly coated with a spice blend including smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. The spice mix enhances the natural sweetness of the potatoes with smoky and mildly spicy notes.
Baked at 450 degrees Fahrenheit, the fries develop a crisp exterior while remaining soft inside. Cooking in a single layer on a non-stick sheet promotes even baking and browning without steaming.
Serving these fries as a side dish or snack provides a nutritious, baked alternative with bold seasoning. Leaving the peels on adds fiber and texture, and scrubbing well ensures cleanliness.
To maximize crispness, ensure fries are cut to uniform size and avoid crowding the pan. High temperature is key to developing a desirable texture.

Notes
