Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- 2. Cut potatoes into 1/4″ thin strips, or to desired thickness. NOTE: you can peel or not peel the potatoes. Soak potatoes in ice water for 30 minutes. Drain and blot dry with paper towels.
- 3. Combine the dry ingredients in a ziploc bag. Add potatoes to bag; drizzle oil over potatoes. Seal bag and shake to coat potatoes with seasoning.
- 4. Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper. Don't overcrowd the sheet, or have multiple layers of fries.
- 5. Place in oven and bake 20-25 minutes. (May take more or less time, depending on the size of the fries.) Remove once the edges slightly begin to brown and fries begin to crisp.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best fries, select sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have sprouts, as these will not yield crispy fries.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: To ensure that the fries cook evenly, cut the potatoes into uniform strips. This will help them cook at the same rate and prevent some fries from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Soak the potatoes in water: Soaking the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove excess starch and prevents the fries from sticking together. This step also helps to make the fries crispier.
- Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: Before roasting the potatoes, toss them with oil and your desired seasonings. This will help to coat the fries evenly and ensure that they are flavorful.
- Roast the potatoes in a hot oven: To achieve crispy fries, roast them in a hot oven (425°F/220°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender on the inside. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will prevent the fries from cooking evenly.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: To ensure that the fries cook evenly, flip them halfway through the cooking time. This will help them to brown on all sides and prevent them from burning.
Conclusion:
Oven-roasted sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make perfect fries every time. You may experiment with different seasonings and toppings to create your own unique flavor combinations. These fries are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet.
