Tips & Tricks (5)
- Slice Uniformity Matters 🔪Cut sweet potato fries into uniform 1/4-inch thick strips to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness across the entire batch.
- Moisture Removal Technique 💨Pat sweet potato strips completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to help them crisp up and prevent soggy fries.
- Strategic Baking Spacing 📏Spread fries in a single layer with minimal overlap on the baking sheet, allowing hot air to circulate and create maximum crunchiness.
- Oil Coating Pro Tip 🫒Use just enough olive oil to lightly coat the fries - too much will prevent proper crisping and lead to greasy results.
- Seasoning Window 🌿Sprinkle chopped chives immediately after removing from the oven to preserve their fresh flavor and prevent wilting.
