Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potato into 1/4 to 1/2-inch wide fries. Keep the pieces uniform for even baking.
  • Place the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the fries and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until browned and crisp.

Notes

  • Cut Evenly: Slice fries the same size to ensure even baking.
  • Space Them Out: Spread fries in a single layer with no overlap for better crisping.
  • Preheat the Oven: Make sure the oven is fully heated before baking for the best texture.
