Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Enjoy these crispy baked sweet potato fries, seasoned with paprika, garlic, and cumin for a flavorful, healthier alternative to traditional fries.

Ingredients:

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. Try to keep the size consistent for even cooking.

3. Season Fries: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they get crispy.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden and crispy.

6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
