Ingredients
  

  • 2 sweet potatoes cut into thin fries
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread them in a single layer with space between each fry.
  4. Bake 12 minutes, flip, then bake 10 to 13 minutes more until crisp at the edges.
  5. Serve hot, straight from the pan.

Notes

Crowding the pan steams the fries. Give them room to crisp.
