Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes (about 1.5 pounds or 700 grams), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cut 3 medium sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries, keeping sizes consistent.
  3. Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours if possible) to remove excess starch.
  4. Drain the fries and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add fries and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Spread fries out in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip fries using a spatula for even cooking.
  8. Bake another 10-15 minutes until edges are golden and crisp.
  9. Immediately sprinkle a little extra rosemary salt if desired when fries come out of the oven.
  10. Let fries cool for a few minutes to crisp up further and serve warm.

Notes

Soaking the fries in cold water removes excess starch for crispiness. Dry fries thoroughly before baking to avoid sogginess. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet and flip fries halfway through baking for even crisping. Optional cayenne pepper adds a spicy kick. Use fresh rosemary for best flavor, but dried rosemary can be substituted if crushed finely.
