Enjoy a healthier twist on fries with these crispy baked sweet potato fries, perfect as a snack or side dish.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, resembling fries.
Try to cut the strips evenly for consistent cooking.
In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Ensure each strip is well-coated for maximum flavor.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding to ensure the fries bake evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through for even cooking.
Keep an eye on the fries during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Serve the fries warm, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving immediately ensures the fries retain their crispiness.
