Steps:
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and leave the skin on (best part.).
- I like using a french fry cutter (it works sort of like those apple corer/slicer things) for this but if you don't have one, just use a knife to cut the potatoes into shoestrings.
- Put the raw fries into a mixing bowl, and pour in the olive oil. Toss well to coat.
- Add the seasonings and toss well again.
- Arrange the fries on a baking sheet and bake at 400F for 10 minutes.
- Turn the fries with a spatula and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Blot any excess oil with paper towels, serve, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for baked fries because they are starchy and have a high solids content, which makes them crispy when baked.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the fries are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get crispy.
- Toss the fries with oil and seasonings: This will help them to crisp up and add flavor. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: If the fries are too close together, they will steam instead of crisp up. Make sure there is enough space between each fry so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up quickly. 425 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature for baking fries.
- Don't overcook the fries: Overcooked fries will be dry and chewy. Cook the fries until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still tender on the inside.
Conclusion:
Baked fries are a healthier alternative to traditional fried fries. They are lower in fat and calories, and they are also a good source of fiber. Baked fries can be made with a variety of seasonings, so you can customize them to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious baked fries at home that are just as good as, if not better than, the fries you get at a restaurant.
