Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet Lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Large bowl For tossing potatoes
  • 1 Knife For peeling and chopping
  • 1 Oven Preheated to 400°F (200°C)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Purple sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or herbs As desired

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Cut the potatoes into thin, even sticks. For extra-crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat them dry with a towel. This helps remove excess starch, leading to a crispier result in your Purple Sweet Potato Recipe.
  • Season and coat the fries with olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings you enjoy. Paprika, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of rosemary are popular choices for this Purple Sweet Potato Recipe.
  • Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring that the fries aren’t touching each other. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy! This Purple Sweet Potato Fries Recipe is perfect with your favorite dipping sauce, like spicy ketchup, honey mustard, or garlic aioli..

Notes

  • Try drizzling with tahini or a squeeze of lime juice before serving for added flavor.
  • Pairs well with grilled proteins, quinoa bowls, or leafy salads.
  • You can leave the skin on if using organic potatoes—just scrub them well.
