Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium (500g) Sweet Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow 15 minutes to fully preheat
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick strips for optimal crispiness
- Season: Toss potato strips with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated
- Arrange: Spread strips in single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding overlap
- Bake: Bake 25-30 minutes, flipping once at 15-minute mark for even browning
- Cool and Serve: Let cool 2-3 minutes before serving to maintain crispiness
Notes
- Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch and improve crispiness
- Pat potatoes completely dry with paper towels after soaking to ensure oil adheres properly
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet as this prevents proper air circulation and reduces crispiness
- For extra crunch, increase oven temperature to 450°F for the last 5 minutes of cooking
