Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F with racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into fry-shaped pieces about ¼" wide and ¼" thick. Transfer the fries to the baking sheets.
- Sprinkle the fries with cornstarch and salt. Toss until coated, then drizzle with olive oil and toss again until no powdery spots remain.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, then flip them to cook evenly on all sides.
- Swap the positions of the baking sheets and bake for another 10 to 18 minutes until crispy.
- Toss with optional seasonings, serve warm!
Notes
These fries are best served fresh and hot, but leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in an oven to retain crispness. Sweet potatoes can be prepared up to 2 days in advance to avoid browning.
