Prepare and Preheat:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Cut and Season the Sweet Potatoes:
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin, even strips. Try to keep them similar in size for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato strips in a large bowl, and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat.
If you want extra crispy fries, sprinkle with cornstarch and toss again until evenly coated.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Spread the sweet potato fries on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other. This helps them bake evenly and get crispy.
Bake the Fries:
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and flip the fries. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy on the edges.
Cool and Serve:
Let the fries cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
