- 1tbspcornstarch
- 2tbspmelted coconut oil,or olive oil
- â…”cupgranulated sugar
- 1tspground cinnamon
For Vanilla Glaze Dip:
- 1cupconfectioners’ sugar
- 3tbspheavy cream,or milk for a less creamy texture
- ¼tsppure vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
2 large sliced potatoes are usually too crowded on 1 sheet, but it depends on their size. You may need an additional sheet. Set aside.
-
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut off the ends. With a very sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices about 1/4 inch wide. Place in a large bowl or ziplock bag and toss with cornstarch.
-
Pour the potatoes into a strainer to get rid of any extra cornstarch. Discard the extra cornstarch out of the mixing bowl too. Place potatoes back into the bowl and add the melted coconut oil.
-
Toss to coat. Mix together ⅓ of granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Pour cinnamon sugar over sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
-
Line the coated sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet. Try not to crowd the fries while baking. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and flip. Place back into the oven for 10 to 15 more minutes. Make sure to rotate the pan to avoid uneven browning.
-
Turn the oven off and keep the fries inside as the oven cools down for about 30 minutes to get crispier fries.
-
Remove fries from the oven and place in a large bowl. Combine the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and â…“ teaspoon of cinnamon and pour over fries. Toss gently to coat.
-
For the dip, simply whisk all of the ingredients together.
-
Serve fries with the vanilla glaze dip.
