The Sweet Potato Fries in Oven Recipe is my favorite taste. They’re easy and tasty.
Do not believe? Follow these steps:

4. A large baking sheet

1. Set the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Peel the potato and cut a thin slice from both ends.
3. Cut the sweet potato in half because they’re normally very large.
4. Now, take a half of the sweet potato and cut it into large slices about 3/4 inch thick. You’ll then cut the larger slices into fries. Your fries should be 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. Repeat this for the other half!
5. Just throw them all on there.
6. Sprinkle a good pinch of sea salt over them, and then apply a ton of freshly ground black pepper. I like to keep mine more chunky because it gives them a nice bite.
7. Drizzle with olive oil (Probably about 1/4 cup, I don’t know, I just eyeball things.)
8. Now, mix it all together on the baking sheet. Make sure you’re scooping the salt, pepper and oil from the bottom and mixing it in. Don’t let the tastiness go to waste!

9. At this point you can add more olive oil if you want – just don’t drown them. They should look glossy, but they shouldn’t be sitting in a pool of olive oil.
10. Once everything’s mixed, space out the fries on the baking sheet. Make sure they’re all evenly spaced and not touching. They’ll get soggy otherwise!
11. Put them in the oven for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven or fidget with them during this time. Just let ‘em cook. The smell will probably be too much to bear, so perhaps this is a good time to go to another room and focus on something else.
12. Then, take them out and flip them. I use my bare hands most of the time, but tongs work well too.
13. Once they’re flipped, put them back in the oven for 10 minutes.
14. Both sides should now be dark brown and crispy and delicious. And hopefully spicy, if you followed my directions. Spicy is the way to go with sweet potato fries!
15. Keep in mind that I like mine REALLY dark and crispy. Should you want a lighter brown color, just reduce the cooking time a couple minutes for both sides.
Enjoy the Sweet Potato Fries in Oven.
