Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into even French fry shapes (slightly larger than ¼-inch batons)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Stir together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Arrange the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, being sure to leave space between the fries to they don’t steam.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes, flipping the fries once halfway through the cooking time, until the edges are browned and crispy, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Cool 5 minutes before serving.
