Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Recipe Source: Jessica Gavin

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 pound sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons potato starch
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

1. Set oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and place in oven to heat before roasting the potatoes.
3. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 3/8-inch thick and about 3 to 4 inch long pieces. Place potatoes in a large bowl.
4. In a small bowl whisk together potato starch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
5. Add spice mixture to the potatoes and mix to evenly coat.
6. Drizzle olive oil over sweet potatoes and mix to evenly coat.
7. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Evenly space the sweet potato fries on the pan so they do not touch.
8. Bake fries for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fries over and cook until lightly brown and crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes.
9. Enjoy the sweet potato fries hot from the oven. The fries will not be as crispy once completely cooled.
