If you've ever had a problem making crispy sweet potato fries… this recipe is for you. In the past, when I have made sweet potato fries, they always turn out a little on the soft side because they contain more moisture then regular Yukon or Russet potatoes. I came across a recipe that used cornstarch and I immediately knew I had to try it. The cornstarch absorbs some of the moisture from the potato and when combined with the oil, provides a crispy outer later. Test these at your upcoming Superbowl Party and they will definitely be a win! =).
Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients:
3-4 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Cornstarch
1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. Let your potatoes soak in water for an hour or two.
2. Slice your sweet potatoes to a medium thickness.
3. Add a few tablespoons of cornstarch to a plastic bag. Add the fries in the bag and toss them around until they are LIGHTLY coated in cornstarch (It makes a huge difference if there is too much cornstarch, it will take away from the flavor of the potato).
4. Spray a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and spread out the fries onto the pan.
5. Drizzle olive oil over the fries and toss them around until they are evenly coated.
6. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if you are looking for additional spice.
7. Bake for 15 minutes and flip halfway through, adding spices to the other side. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
8. Satisfy your deep fried cravings with this healthy alternative!
