Equipment

- 2 tbsp Olive oil

- Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or herbs As desired
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- 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.
