Sweet potato fries are delicious. We’ve all heard that they’re healthier when they are baked and not friedand of course that sweet potato also offers added nutrition that a regular white potato doesn’t. That being said, if you have ever tried to make your own sweet potato fries,you may have been disappointed because sometimes they can end up a little bit soggy. So today I am showing you how to make the truly crispy sweet potato fries. Start by peeling your sweet potatoes and cutting them into even strips just like French fries. Now this step is very important for crispy sweet potato fries,we want to make sure they are evenly cut so that they cook evenly in the oven. And the next step could be the most important for getting your crispy fries and that is soaking them. Place your cut fries into a large bowl with water and let them soak for about 45 minutes. This draws out excess starch which helps them to cook through better. And it helps them to crisp up on the outside while staying tender on the inside without burning. Once soaked, you can strain out your fries and pat them down with a towel until they are dry. Put them into a zip lock bag and add a little bit of corn starch. This is also going to help them crisp up. Seal the bag and toss to coat. You want to make sure you leave a little bit of air in the bag so that they can coat thoroughly. You may need to do this in two bags depending on how many fries you are making. In a large mixing bowl you can add your coated fries along with a little bit of coconut oil and garlic powder. We are going to wait until later to add the salt because adding it before is one of the thingsthat can make them go limp when they are cooking. Line baking sheets with foil, shiny side down and spray. Now this is another important step for crispy fries. Do not crowd the pan. Make sure you leave enough space between the fries so they have room to breathe and the moisture can circulate. Now if you try this out and your fries still turn out soggy, you may need to bake them one pan at a time. It just kind of depends on your oven. Bake in an oven pre heated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, flipping half way through. Remove from the oven and then add your salt to taste. These babes will also crisp up a little bit more as they cool. So let them chill for a few minutes before devouring. And there you have it. Actually crispy sweet potato fries.
