Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. sweet potatoes or yams, peeled
  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste ( about 1/4 tsp each)
  • a small bunch of fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 425 degrees f.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes into even 1/4 inch thick sticks and place them into a large mixing bowl. It's super important that they are cut very uniformly.
  • Sprinkle with garlic and paprika, and drizzle with oil, then toss to coat.
  • Do NOT add salt until the end, doing so now will make mushy fries.
  • Preheat 2 separate large, rimmed baking sheets covered with parchment paper in your hot oven for 5 minutes.
  • VERY carefully spread the fries out on the 2 HOT separate baking sheets to prevent overcrowding. Giving them a little space helps them crisp up.
  • Bake until browned up a bit and crisp on the bottom, about 12-15 minutes, then flip your fries and cook until the other side is crisp, about 12 more minutes.
  • Carefully, remove from the hot pan, & sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
