\u2728 They\u2019re oven-baked, not fried. So, you get all the flavor and crunch without the mess (or extra oil). Plus, they\u2019re just as good fresh from the oven when reheated the next day, making them wonderful for meal prep. I ALWAYS make extra!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 Sweet potato fries are also a great way to use and eat easily available seasonal veggies. Like these oven-roasted carrots<\/a> and air fryer pumpkin<\/a>! Roasting them intensifies their flavor, caramelizes them, crisps up the edges, and leaves the inside irresistibly soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sweet Potatoes:<\/strong> Choose whatever variety is easily available to you. You can peel them or leave the skins on (like I did) for extra texture. Slice them evenly so they cook at the same speed. Use any extra to make these yummy sweet potato cutlets<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olive oil<\/strong> also adds a lovely fruity flavor. You can swap it for any oil you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paprika<\/strong> is a color-and-flavor booster. You can use degi mirch\/ Kashmiri red chili powder too. It gives a very gentle heat and a gorgeous red hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seasoning<\/strong>: I used thyme and oregano for a savory taste with a little sea salt to <\/strong>bring out the flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
