Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (foil, wax paper etc. will not work). Set aside.
- Place cut sweet potato fries in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag and toss with cornstarch. You want a nice thin coating.
- Pour the potatoes into a strainer and shake off extra cornstarch. Discard the extra cornstarch out of the mixing bowl too.
- Place potatoes back into the bowl and add the oil, garlic, seasoned salt, chili powder, and black pepper.
- Line the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet (try not to crowd them or else they won’t bake, they’ll just steam). Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and flip. Place back into the oven for 10-15 more minutes. Make sure to rotate the pan to avoid uneven browning.
- Turn the oven off and keep the fries inside as the oven cools down for about 30 minutes. This step will help the fries get crispier. Enjoy!
