How to Make Spicy Sweet Potato Frites

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized fries, about ½ inch thick. Soaking them in cold water for 15 minutes helps to remove excess starch and ensures crispier fries.
  3. Pat the sweet potato fries completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving crispy results.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the spice blend, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the pan; this will lead to steaming instead of frying.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  7. Serve immediately alongside your favorite cheeseburgers or other dishes. Enjoy!
