Ingredients

– 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil

– 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. While the oven is heating up, prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling them and slicing them into thin, 1/4 inch wide strips.

Step 2: Toss the Potatoes in Cornstarch

In a large bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with the sliced sweet potatoes, until the potatoes are fully coated. This will give the fries a crisp texture when they bake.

In the same bowl, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the coated sweet potatoes. Next, add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder. Toss the sweet potatoes until they are fully coated in the seasonings.

Step 4: Lay Out the Fries on a Baking Sheet

Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Be sure to leave some space between them to allow for even baking.

Step 5: Bake the Fries

Place the baking sheet with the sweet potato fries in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fries are crispy and golden brown. Be sure to flip the fries over halfway through baking to ensure that they cook evenly.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve the baked sweet potato fries immediately. These fries are great on their own, but if you’re feeling fancy, you can also serve them with a side of ranch or honey mustard dip.
