Baked Sweet Potato Fries

This was my first time making baked sweet potato fries with this recipe. These fries did not turn out bad, but they are not the best in the world. I like my fries more on the crunchy side and these were a little soft. They were seasoned perfectly, I would not change the seasoning.

For this recipe you will need two large sweet potatoes, two tablespoons of olive oil, one teaspoon of garlic powder, one teaspoon of paprika, one teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of black pepper, chopped parsley, and parmesan cheese for garnish. First heat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut the potatoes thinly, and toss in a bowl with the olive oil. Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a custard cup. I like the taste of garlic on my fries so, I minced two cloves of garlic for more flavor. Toss the seasoning evenly over the oiled fries. Spread the fries out on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven until brown on the bottom that should take about fifteen minutes. Flip the fries and cook on the other side until crisp, this usually takes only ten minutes. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese and parsley over the fries, and serve hot.

Some troubles I had with this recipe is when I took the fries out to flip them, they had cooked and gotten soft, so when I went to flip them the whole fry ripped in half. I was also using a chef’s knife to cut the potatoes, but sweet potatoes seem harder than regular potatoes. If you have a special utensil at home that can cut potatoes easier than a chefs knife I highly recommend using it.
