Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

  • 5 sweet potatoes, medium
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, Kosher
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, ground
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
  2. Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes. Cut them into similar sized strips (your desired thickness and length).
  3. Put the cut potatoes in a large bowl or plastic bag.
  4. Add the oil to the bowl or bag and mix to coat the potatoes.
  5. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper to the bowl or bag. Mix/shake to evenly coat the potatoes.
  6. Spread the cut and coated potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes , turning halfway. They are done when they are crispy and have a puffed up texture.

Notes

Spread the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet so they are not touching. If you crowd them together they wont get crispy.

The sweet potato fries may get a little black and that is fine. The blackness will give them a delicious caramelized flavor.

You can flip the fries using a metal spatula. Scoop them up and quickly flip them over.

Thicker fries will take longer to cook and thinner fries will cook faster.

Adjust the spices and seasonings to your taste.
