- 2tspcornstarch,per large potato
- 1tbspof olive oil or coconut oil,per large potato
- ¼cinnamon-sugar or salt, cayenne, curry, pumpkin pie spice, garlic,spices, anything you please
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
-
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut off the ends. Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices about ¼-inch wide.
-
Place in a large bowl or ziplock bag and toss with cornstarch. You want a nice thin coating. 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 olive oil and seasoning of choice.
-
Line the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and flip. Place back into the oven for 10 to 15 more minutes.
-
Turn the oven off and keep the fries inside as the oven cools down for about 30 minutes. This step will help the fries get crispier. Enjoy immediately.
Recipe Notes
- Do not overcrowd the sweet potatoes or else it will only be steamed and not baked.
- Make sure to rotate the pan to avoid uneven browning. Don’t fret if the edges are a little brown, they will taste more caramelized than burnt.
