How to Make Crispy Sweet Potato

  1. Preheat oven to 435°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel one large sweet potato (or two Yukon Gold potatoes). Cut into 1/2-inch thick fries.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. In a pie plate, combine 1 cup crushed cereal (e.g., corn flakes), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.
  5. Dip each potato fry into the egg white mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Dredge the egg-coated fries in the cereal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Place fries in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Flip the fries and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
