Steps:
- 1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a large baking sheet and set aside. 2) Peel the sweet potatoes then cut them in half lengthwise. Cut each in half into 1/4-inch wide strips. 3) Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl and add the oil, salt, and pepper. 4) Toss gently to coat the potato slices well and spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer. 5) Bake until potatoes are lightly browned and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, about 25 minutes. 6) Serve immediately, garnished with dried cranberries, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized sticks: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Toss the sweet potato sticks with oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them crisp up in the oven and develop a delicious flavor.
- Spread the sweet potato sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Roast the sweet potato sticks at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior.
- Flip the sweet potato sticks halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly.
- Serve the sweet potato sticks immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.
