Baked sweet potato fries that are actually crispy. The secret is cutting them thin, not overcrowding the pan, and using high heat. Smoked paprika adds a gorgeous color and a subtle smoky flavor that makes them irresistible. These are the fries that disappear before anything else on the plate.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes, cut into thin fries
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic granules
- ½ tsp Redmond Real Salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Toss the sweet potato fries with avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic granules, salt, and pepper.
- Spread in a single layer across the two baking sheets. Do not overcrowd.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once at the halfway point, until crispy and golden at the edges.
Notes
- Using two baking sheets prevents overcrowding, which is the number one reason fries come out soggy.
- Avocado oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil, which helps with crispiness at high temperatures.
- Serve with a side of honey mustard or a drizzle of maple syrup mixed with cayenne.
