Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prep the Sweet Potato: Scrub, peel, and trim both ends. Cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise. Slice each piece into ¼ to ½-inch thick wedges.
- Season the Fries: Spread the wedges on a baking sheet without crowding. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss with your hands to coat evenly.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Flip and Continue Baking: Remove the baking sheet, flip the fries with tongs or a fork, then return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Baking time varies based on thickness.
- Cool and Serve: Let the fries cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Cut Evenly: Slice the fries into similar sizes so they bake evenly.
- Give Them Space: Arrange fries in a single layer with no overlap to help them crisp up.
- Preheat the Oven: A hot oven is key to getting crispy fries—don’t skip this step.
