Equipment

  • baking sheets
  • parchment paper
  • Metal Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-large or 3 medium)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • optional spices freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into fry-shaped pieces about ¼″ wide and ¼″ thick. Transfer half of the uncooked fries to one baking sheet, and the other half to the other baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the fries with cornstarch and salt. Toss until lightly coated. Drizzle olive oil over the fries and toss until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the fries in a single layer on the baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the fries.
  • Arrange the fries again and swap the pans in the oven. Bake for 10 to 18 more minutes, or until crispy.
  • If desired, toss the baked fries with seasonings to taste. Serve warm!

Notes

These fries are best served fresh and hot. Leftovers keep well for up to 4 days in the fridge. To prevent browning, the fries can be soaked in water before baking.
