Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (900g) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼ inch strips
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) avocado oil
  • ½ tsp (3g) sea salt
  • ½ tsp (2g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp (2g) smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp (1g) garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp (0.5g) onion powder
  • ¼ tsp (0.5g) cayenne pepper

Instructions:

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into uniform sticks, approximately ¼ inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato strips with the avocado oil. Add sea salt, cracked black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss vigorously until every fry is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the fries in a single layer, leaving at least half an inch of space between each fry.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are mahogany-colored and crisp.
  5. Optional Air Fryer Method: Set to 380°F (193°C). Place seasoned fries in the basket without overcrowding and cook for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
