Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries use large sweet potatoes seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic and onion powders, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Baking at high temperature crisps the outside while keeping the inside tender, offering a flavorful alternative to fried fries. The seasoning provides balanced warmth and depth without overpowering the natural sweetness of the potatoes.

Notes
- Leave sweet potato peels on for added fiber and nutrition; scrub them well before slicing.
- Cut fries into uniform sizes for consistent cooking and texture.
- Arrange fries in a single layer on the baking sheet to promote crispiness and even cooking; use two sheets if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- High oven temperature is essential to achieve crispy edges and tender centers.
