  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Seasoning
  1. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil until evenly coated.
  2. Sprinkle with cornstarch, salt, and pepper, then toss again to ensure all fries are coated.
Baking
  1. Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip the fries and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Serving

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the fries are in a single layer and not overcrowded on the baking sheet. You can also soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking to remove excess starch.
