Baked Sweet Potato Fries

These easy baked Sweet Potato Fries are a low calorie, healthy side dish.  They are tossed in oil and seasonings and oven baked for the perfect amount of crispiness.

These are almost too easy to call a recipe (like these easy roasted potatoes or these Greek lemon potatoes). But when I love something as much as we love these, they must be shared.

The key to making the best sweet potato fries is to make sure they are not touching each other on your baking sheet.  If they are overlapping at all, they will let off steam and turn out much softer.   Use two baking sheets if you need to.

Also, using parchment paper on the baking sheet as well will help ensure the much desired crispiness.

You can even play around with the seasoning you like too.   Replace the garlic and paprika with cinnamon and a little nutmeg. I like to put the spices on after the fries have cookied so the spices don’t burn.

Homemade baked sweet potato fries are not going to be quite as crispy as oil fried versions. But they are a wonderful, low calorie alternative.

Serve these healthy sweet potatoes fries alongside any of these healthy main dish recipes:

Honey Dijon Pork Tenderloin

Grilled Italian Chicken
