Savory Crunchy Sweet Potato Fries: A Delicious Twist
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    35 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons of zesty chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of aromatic ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of flavorful smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of fragrant garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of pungent onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon of cornstarch for thickening
  • ⅛ teaspoon of fiery cayenne pepper
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes for a hearty base
  • 2 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil to bring it all together

Step 1

Get started by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and get a baking sheet ready by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup later on.

Step 2

Combine a flavorful blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, cornstarch, and a touch of cayenne pepper in a small bowl to create a zesty seasoning mix.

Step 3

Next, it's time to prepare your potatoes for roasting. Cut them in half lengthwise and then slice each half into 3 wedges to maximize that crispy edge. Toss these wedges in a large bowl with some olive oil until they glisten, then generously sprinkle the spice mixture over them. Use a rubber spatula or your hands to make sure each wedge is coated with the flavorful mix before transferring them to the waiting baking sheet.

Step 4

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the magic happen. After about 25 minutes, your potato wedges should be tender and easily pierced with a fork, signaling that they are perfectly roasted and ready to be enjoyed.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep it cool : Store your freshly cut sweet potato fries in the refrigerator to retain their freshness and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  2. 2. Bag it up : Make sure to store your sweet potato fries in a resealable bag or airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
