Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes ((scrubbed clean // organic when possible))
- 2 Tbsp olive, avocado, or melted coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme*
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper*
- 1 Tbsp sugar of choice ((optional // (coconut + cane are best))
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218 C).
-
Leave the skin on and cut sweet potatoes into thin, even match sticks with a very sharp knife.
-
Transfer to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Then sprinkle with seasonings, sugar and toss.
-
Transfer fries to 1 large or 2 baking sheets (or more if making a larger batch) and arrange in a single layer to ensure they crisp up.
-
Bake for 15 minutes and flip/stir to cook on the other side. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes more or until brown and crispy. You'll know they're done when the edges are dark brown and crispy.
-
Remove from oven and either serve as is or drizzle with a bit of maple syrup (or honey if not vegan) to offset spiciness.
-
Serve plain or with your favorite dip, such as Whiskey BBQ Ketchup.
