Crispy Sweet Potato Oven Fries

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and trim off the pointy ends.
  3. Cut the sweet potatoes into sticks about 1/3 inch thick. Thinner sticks crisp better than thick ones.
  4. Put the sticks in a large bowl, sprinkle with the cornstarch and toss until they are lightly and evenly dusted.
  5. Add the oil and toss again until no dry cornstarch is left.
  6. Spread the fries on the two pans in a single layer, leaving space between them.
  7. Bake until the undersides are browned.
  8. Flip the fries with a thin metal spatula and swap the pans between racks.
  9. Bake until the edges are browned and crisp. Check early, since sweet potatoes can scorch quickly.
  10. Let the fries sit on the pans so they firm up and crisp a little more.
  11. Toss with the salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder and cayenne and serve hot.
