How to Make Sweet Potato Idaho Fries

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel 2 large sweet potatoes and cut them into thick fries (about ½ inch thick).
  3. Thoroughly pat the sweet potato fries dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving crispy fries!
  4. In a large bowl, toss the fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Make sure the fries are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet with sides. This helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking.
  6. Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are tender on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside.
