Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Baking Sheets

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Sweet Potatoes Peeled
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉ and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into sticks ¼ to ½ inch wide and 3 inches long. Place them in a bowl with cold water and let soak for 30 minutes to get rid of some of the starch.
  • Drain and dry the sweet potatoes and toss them with the oil. Mix the spices, salt and pepper in a small bowl, and toss them with the sweet potatoes. Spread them out on 2 rimmed baking sheets.
  • Bake until brown and crisp on the bottom, about 25 to 30 minutes, or until they have reached your desired level of crispness. Serve hot.
  • These are best served fresh but you can store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 350℉ until warmed through.
