Sweet Potato Fries in the Oven with Paprika Garlic Aioli
Oven-baked sweet potato fries are seasoned with a blend of smoked paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper, offering a flavorful and slightly crispy snack or side. Served alongside a creamy homemade paprika garlic aioli, the combination balances the natural sweetness of the potatoes with savory, smoky, and tangy notes. Baking on parchment and flipping halfway helps achieve a crisp texture without frying.

- 3 sweet potato large
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Paprika Garlic Aioli
- 1 cup mayonnaise homemade

Instructions
Sweet Potato Fries
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes in 1/4-inch long slices and then in 1/4-inch wide strips. Place them in a large bowl and toss them with about 1/4 cup olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer in both baking sheets and don't overcrowd.
- Bake in a preheated 400 F oven for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Let the sweet potato fries rest for about 10 minutes before serving them. This will help them crisp up a little bit more.

Notes
- Cut fries evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Coating fries in starch before baking helps achieve crispness.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid in crisp texture.
- Arrange fries in single layers without overcrowding for better roasting.
- Flip fries halfway through baking for even browning.
- Let fries rest 5-10 minutes after baking to firm up their texture.
- If available, use the convection setting on your oven to promote even cooking and crispiness.
