Homemade Baked Sweet Potato Fries

There are many reasons to love homemade baked sweet potato fries.

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

First of all, they are a healthier alternative to traditional french fries. They are also very easy to make, and the taste is unbeatable.

You can easily make sweet potato wedges in an air fryer with just a touch of olive oil. They’re also tossed with black pepper and sea salt, which add flavor without additional calories.

And because sweet potatoes have natural sugars, you don’t need to add any extra sugar. They are easily available in your local grocery store, so you can make them anytime.

Traditional regular fries on the other hand are white potatoes, deep-fried in oil, which can make them high in calories and unhealthy.

How to make Homemade Baked Sweet Potato Fries?

It does not take much to make these crispy fries. Wash the sweet potato thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Cut into wedges or small squares, however, you like. Toss them with olive oil. Sprinkle with your favorite spices for extra flavor and cornstarch.

Bake until golden brown on the outside. Cornstarch helps keep them crunchy, the way I like!
