Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

Ingredients:

- 2 large sweet potatoes

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)

- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.

Cut them into thin, even strips to ensure they cook evenly.

3. Season the Fries:

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin (if using). Make sure all fries are well-coated with the seasoning.

4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap.

5. Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:

Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
