Crispy Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 pounds sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons corn starch
• coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 450°.
• 2 Start by slicing the potatoes into long ¼” to ½” thick batonnet cuts.
• 3 Next, submerge them in water and let them sit for 30 minutes. This will help
  wash off any starch so that they brown.
• 4 Drain the sweet potatoes and thoroughly dry them using a towel or paper towels.
• 5 Add the potatoes to a large bowl and coat them in the oil on all sides.
• 6 Next, sprinkle in the corn starch and toss them until they are coated on all
  sides. You will notice a hint of breading on the potatoes from the cornstarch
  mixing with the oil to cream a slurry.
• 7 Evenly spread the sweet potatoes on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper in a
  single layer. It’s important that they are only one layer so that they can brown
  properly. If the tray is too crowded, divide them between two.
• 8 Place on a middle rack in the oven and cook at 450° for 12 to 15 minutes or
  until they start to turn light brown.
• 9 Flip the sweet potatoes over and cook for a further 6 to 8 minutes or until
  lightly browned and cooked. If they are not browning, turn the broiler on high
  after the 6 to 8 minutes mark and broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned.
• 10 Remove the sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
