Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lbs sweet potatoes
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 4.8 g (1 tsp) kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400^◦ F.
2. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper, then set aside.
3. Wash and peel 2 lbs sweet potatoes.
4. Cut potatoes into about 1/4″ to 1/2″ slices about 3″ long. Think “French fry” size. Mine pictured above were the 1/2″ version.
5. Add slices to a large bowl and fill with water – just enough to mostly cover sweet potato slices – and soak for at least 30 mins (up to overnight).
6. Drain soaked sweet potatoes and pat dry.
7. To a gallon-size Ziplock bag, add patted dry sweet potato slices.
8. In a small bowl, make marinade by whisking together 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper.
9. Pour marinade over bagged sweet potato slices, seal bag, and toss until evenly coated. If you’re not ready to bake right away, set in fridge to marinate for a bit.
10. Spread seasoned potato slices on prepared baking sheet(s) in one layer.
11. Bake about 15 mins, until brown and crisp on the bottoms.
12. Remove from oven and flip.
13. Return to oven and cook about 10 mins more until crisp.
14. Serve immediately.
