Easy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges about 3/4 inch thick.

Place the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Use a rubber spatula to toss the sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated.

Transfer the sweet potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Spread the wedges out, leaving as much space as possible between them.

Roast on middle rack of oven for 12 minutes.

Carefully flip the sweet potatoes with tongs or a rubber spatula. Continue roasting until they are tender and slightly charred, 10-14 minutes.

Check to see that sweet potatoes are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Uniformly for Even Cooking ✂️
Slice sweet potatoes into fries of consistent thickness (about ¼-inch) so they cook evenly and achieve golden edges simultaneously without some burning or remaining undercooked.
Pat Dry Before Oiling 💧
Thoroughly dry the cut sweet potatoes with paper towels after washing to remove excess moisture, which prevents steaming and ensures crispy, caramelized exteriors.
Arrange in Single Layer 📐
Spread fries in a single layer on your baking sheet without crowding; overcrowding traps steam and prevents the desirable golden-brown crust from forming.
Toast Your Chives Last 🌿
Add chopped chives after the fries finish baking rather than before, preserving their delicate onion flavor and vibrant color that would otherwise fade during oven heat.
Use High-Quality Olive Oil Generously 🫒
Don't skimp on extra-virgin olive oil; coat fries thoroughly with at least 2-3 tablespoons per pound of potatoes to achieve that premium golden, crispy exterior.
