BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large sweet potatoes, water, corn starch, olive oil, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, shredded parmesan cheese, fresh parsley

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Sides

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large sweet potatoes
water, for soaking
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 tablespoon olive oil, or vegetable oil
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon brown sugar
salt, to taste
shredded parmesan cheese, optional
fresh parsley, optional, chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse and peel sweet potatoes.
  • To cut into fries, cut a small sliver off the edge of the potatoes lengthwise to create a flat side for them to rest on. Turn the potato over to lay on its flat side. Cut each slice lengthwise into three to four fries.
  • Place the fries in a bowl of water and soak for one hour. (This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes so your fries will be crispier.) Rinse and dry off.
  • In a large bowl or gallon bag, toss the fries with cornstarch until they're evenly coated. Then add the oil and toss to coat.
  • Add the pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar and toss to evenly distribute your spices. (Hold off on adding the salt until after baking. This will help make sure the fries are crispy.)
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the french fries, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. (You may need two pans, depending on how large your pans are. Avoid overcrowding one pan or your fries may not crisp up.)
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Flip fries with tongs, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle on salt (to taste) and serve! Add shredded Parmesan and chopped parsley for an optional garnish.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Low Protein

Time 25m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced like steak fries
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
feel free to add whatever seasoning you like. garlic powder, taco seasoning, etc

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle oil over the potatoes. Add seasoning mix and toss to coat. Place fries in one even layer cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes, turn and bake 10 more minutes. Fries should be soft on the inside and browned on the outside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and blemish-free. Avoid any potatoes that are soft or have bruises.
  • 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 get crispy and flavorful. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices. As for seasonings, salt and pepper are a classic, but you can also add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or any other spices you like.
  • Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy. 400 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature to start with. You may need to adjust the temperature depending on your oven.
  • Cook the fries until they are golden brown: This could take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fries. Keep an eye on them so they don't overcook.

Conclusion:

Baked sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
