Ingredients
- 3 pounds fresh sweet potatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil or canola oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional Add-Ins: smoked paprika ground cumin, onion powder, chile powder, Italian seasoning, cajun seasoning, old bay, or cinnamon.
Instructions
How to Make Sweet Potato Fries in Oven -
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set out a small bowl for the seasoning. Combine the salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well.
- Set out a large bowl. Peel the sweet potatoes, one at a time, and cut into ¼ to ½ inch fries that are 3-4 inches in length. Place the fries in the bowl, then pour the olive oil over the top of the fries. Toss the fries in oil.
- Repeat peeling the sweet potatoes, slicing them into fries, and tossing in the oil to keep them from browning.
- Once all the fries are cut and tossed in oil, spread them out in a single layer on two large rimmed baking sheets.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the top of the fries. Bake for 12 minutes. Then carefully flip the fries over with a flat metal spatula. Bake for an additional 12 to 14 minutes until crispy. Serve the fries warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

- Once all the fries are cut and tossed in oil, preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
- Working in small batches, place a single layer of fries in the air fryer basket. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the top of the fries. Air fry for approximately 12 minutes, flipping the fries at the 6-minute mark. The amount of batches required to cook all the fries will depend on the size of your air fryer basket.
Notes
- Serve with ketchup of any of your favorite dipping sauces or dressings.
- Leftovers: These fries taste best when served warm shortly after cooking. But leftovers will last in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or so.
- The best way to reheat fries is in the air fryer. But you can also re-bake them in the oven for 5-10 minutes until hot and crispy again.
