Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato peeled or not peeled
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray or coat with 1 teaspoon of oil.
  • If desired, peel the sweet potato (I prefer to keep the peel on!).
  • Next, cut the potato into fry-shaped pieces. First cut the ¼” thick slabs and then cut each slab into ¼” wide by ¼” thich fries. The closer and more similar in size cuts will allow an even bake.
  • Sprinkle sweet potato fries with the cornstarch. Toss until the fries are evenly and lightly coated. Drizzle the fries with avocado oil and garlic salt until there are no powdery spots remaining.
  • Arrange the fries in a single layer, with no overcrowding. Bake for 18 minutes and then flip the fries so they cook on all sides. Arrange the fries in even layers again, making sure no areas are overcrowded. (This can cause the fries to not cook evenly and either overcook or become mushy)
  • Return fries to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until fries are crispy.
  • Sprinkle with any other seasonings to taste (like cayenne pepper for spice or a dash of salt for extra flavor) and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Use uniform cuts. The closer and more similar in size cuts will allow an even bake.
  • Use a large baking sheet. This helps give the french fries lots of space to get crispy.
  • Don’t crowd the pan. Leaving space around each fry helps them to get crispy and not steam while cooking
  • How to store. These fries are best served right away. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, however they may become mushy on reheating.
