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.

Transfer the sweet potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and arrange them with as much space as possible between the wedges. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

Roast the sweet potatoes on middle rack of oven for 12 minutes.

Carefully flip the sweet potatoes. Continue roasting until they are tender and slightly charred, 10-14 minutes.

Garnish with chopped scallions if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Uniform Cutting for Even Cooking 🔪
Cut sweet potatoes into fries of consistent thickness (about ¼-inch) to ensure they all caramelize and crisp simultaneously, preventing some from burning while others remain soft.
Pat Dry for Maximum Crispiness 💧
After cutting, pat the sweet potato fries completely dry with paper towels before seasoning—this removes surface moisture that prevents browning and caramelization in the oven.
Season Before Cooking for Flavor Infusion 🧂
Mix all dry seasonings together and toss with fries 10-15 minutes before baking; this allows the spices to adhere better and flavors to penetrate the potatoes more deeply.
Single-Layer Arrangement on Hot Pan 🍟
Arrange fries in a single layer on a preheated baking sheet and avoid crowding; this promotes air circulation and direct heat contact for optimal caramelization on all sides.
Finish with Fresh Scallions Post-Baking 🌱
Add the fresh scallions immediately after removing fries from the oven while they're still hot; the residual heat will slightly wilt them and release their bright, oniony flavors without cooking away their texture.
