Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
Make perfectly seasoned crispy sweet potatoes fries at home with a sweet potato, a splash of olive oil, and a few spices. These can be baked in the oven or air fried to perfection! They are sweet, smoky, and even crispy!
Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes (skins on)
- 1-2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Organic Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Organic Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Organic Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 or air fryer to 350.
- Start by cleaning the skins of 2 sweet potatoes under warm water with a vegetable scrub brush.
- With the small end facing you, cut slices just slightly thicker than a 1/4″.
- Stack 2 slices with the short side facing you and make the final cuts to form the fries. If your slices are 1/4″ thick, cut the slices every 1/4 inch as well. They will all be different lengths, just aim for all the same thickness.
- Place all the fries in a large glass bowl.
- Pour 1-2 Tbsp of Olive Oil over the sweet potato fries.
- Sprinkle Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, Sea Salt, and black pepper (freshly cracked) on top and toss with tongs to cover.
- Option #1 – Oven: Lay fries out on a rimmed baking stone making sure there is a little spacing between each fry so they can crisp in the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes and then flip the fries and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully at the end of baking.
- Option #2 – Air Fryer: Fill basket 1/2 full with sweet potato fries and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, check the fries and give the basket a toss. Bake for an additional 5 minutes to make them crispy.
Notes
Use Smoked Paprika and organic spices for this recipe. Watch fries carefully at the end of cooking to avoid burning them in the oven or air fryer. Left over fries are great reheated in the oven or in a skillet with a little olive oil. Make extra for another meal. You can even freeze them!
