How to Make Spicy Sweet Potato Frites
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- Pat the sweet potato fries completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving crispy results.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
- Serve immediately alongside your favorite cheeseburgers or other dishes. Enjoy!
