Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by peeling large sweet potatoes and slicing them into roughly quarter-inch thick fries. Tossing the raw fries with corn starch creates a coating that absorbs oil better and helps develop a crispier texture when baked. They are spread out on lined baking sheets to avoid overcrowding, which ensures even roasting.
The fries are drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with a seasoning mix including garlic salt, black pepper, and paprika which adds a savory, mildly smoky flavor without overpowering the natural sweetness of the potatoes. Baking at 450°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, produces golden edges while keeping the interior tender.
These sweet potato fries serve well as a side dish or snack and are best enjoyed immediately after baking for optimal crispness. The preparation method offers a straightforward way to enjoy baked fries with a flavorful seasoning blend.
The notes encourage trying this easy recipe as a tasty, nutritious side option and recommend serving soon after baking to enjoy the crisp texture.
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potato large
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon corn starch
- 1/2 Teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into the size of fries (approximately 1/4" inch thick pieces).
