Sweet Potato Fries In Oven

Making tasty sweet potato fries in the oven does require some attention. It’s not as easy as with the regular potato. The sweet potato is not a potato either, so you shouldn’t compare it to that!  

What do you need to make sweet potato fries in the oven, for 2 people: 

• 3 to 4 sweet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into chips 
• Spices such as onion powder, garlic powder and salt 
• Sunflower oil (this can withstand high temperatures) 
• baking paper 

How to make sweet potato fries: 

1. Turn the oven on to 230 degrees and preheat the oven.  
2. Wash the sweet potato well to remove any sand. 
3. Using a large sharp knife, cut the potato into slices and then into strips. You can decide for yourself how thick the strips are. The thicker the less crunchy. 
4. Place the strips in a large bowl and drizzle a little sunflower oil over them. Add the spices and salt and stir to combine. 
5. Place baking paper on a baking tray and slide it into the oven, on the bottom. This is a shelter for chips that fall off the grid. 
6. Place the seasoned chips on a rack and slide them into the oven (middle of the oven). Separate the fries from each other, as much as possible, so that all sides of the fries can fry and become as crispy as possible. 
7. If you don’t have a grid on which the chips can be placed or the grid has the arrows too far apart, you can of course also place the chips on the baking tray in the middle of the oven. This makes them a little less crispy. 
8. Bake the fries for about 30 minutes and taste to see if they are to your liking. Stir the fries halfway through when they are on a baking tray.
