Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes before slicing them into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add your cut sweet potato strips along with olive oil, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss until every strip is thoroughly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Once baked, remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
