Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Oven
- Peeler
- Grater
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ½ inch sticks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more
- 2 tablespoons GO Veggie! Dairy Free Parmesan Grated Topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. This is an essential step to ensure the fries bake evenly and turn crispy.
- Take a large bowl and add the cut sweet potatoes. Pour in half of the olive oil, the minced garlic, sea salt, and parmesan. Toss everything together gently to ensure the fries are fully coated.
- Drizzle the remaining half of the olive oil over a large baking sheet. Pop it in the preheated oven for a few minutes until the pan gets hot and the oil shimmers.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Add the sweet potato fries, making sure they are evenly spread out. There should be a bit of space between them to allow for proper roasting.
- Return the pan to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then take them out and flip the fries to ensure they cook evenly.
- Continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the fries are slightly golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as cooking times can vary depending on your oven.
- Taste a fry and add additional salt or more parmesan if desired. They’re best enjoyed immediately, while they’re still hot and crispy!
Notes
- For Extra Crispiness: Adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the fries before baking enhances their crispiness.
- Spacing is Key: Avoid crowding the baking sheet, as it can prevent the sweet potatoes from browning properly.
- Batch Cooking: If you make a large quantity, use two baking sheets to ensure even cooking.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to add your favorite spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
