How To Make Crispy Sweet Potato Fries

I’m a huge fun of sweet potato fries. If I’m at a restaurant and there’s an option for sweet potato fries I’ll always order them. Homemade sweet potato fries are always the best and on this post I’ll show you how to make them crispy and tasty. These fries will beat any restaurant ones and since they’re baked and not fried they’re quite healthy.

Sweet potatoes are really healthy and are a good source of complex carbs. They are full of antioxidants and fiber, and have some beneficial blood sugar-regulating properties. Plus, they’re a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. (Source)

How to Make Crispy Sweet Potato Fries

  1. Cut your fries thinly and evenly – Cutting the fries thinly helps them turn out crispy when baking. And because we are baking, we want the fries to cook evenly and turn out more crispy. It’s best to cut the fries on a chopping board to ensure they come out the same size.
  2. Coat the fries in cornstarch before the oil. Cornstarch helps give the fries that outside crispness while the inside remains soft. If you don’t have corn starch these other alternatives will still do the job, egg whites and tapioca flour.
  3. Don’t overload the baking tray. if you you need to and have lots of fries, use two different trays and spread them evenly. These will ensure that the fries don’t steam rather they bake and become crispy.
  4. Bake at 200 degrees C. I’ve found that this is the perfect temperature that will ensure that they will not burn and halfway I’ll turn them to make sure they cook evenly.
  5. Salt them right after they come out of the oven. I like to do this even with my fried potatoes as I feel that they catch the salt better.

You can enjoy these sweet potato fries with an easy but yummy avocado dip. Grab some over-ripe avocados, garlic and coriander. Mash everything together and combine. I hope you try out this recipe and let me know how it turns our.
