Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Everyone loves having the classic side of fries with their meals once in a while, and making them at home isn't the most difficult thing in the world. But knowing a few key steps for preparing and cooking your fries will leave you with restaurant quality sweet potato fries.

Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp sea salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 F and rinse sweet potato in water. Being peeling the skin off your sweet potato. 

2. Depending on how large your potato is, start by cutting lengthwise into sections, then into sticks.

3. Transfer all your fries into a bowl, and toss with sea salt. Set the bowl aside for 15 mins. to allow the salt to soak up excess moisture.

4. Next you want to lay out two sheets of paper towels, and transfer fries onto them. Take another two sheets, and blot the fries to ensure the fries are completely dry (this is what makes them crispy!).

5. Place all your fries back into the bowl and toss with olive oil, making sure the fries are completely covered.

6. Lay out a sheet of parchment paper onto a baking sheet, and arrange fries onto it keeping some separation between each. This will help bake each fry individually.

7. Place baking sheet in oven for 15 mins. Once time is up, flip them over and put them back in for another 10 minutes.

8. Remove and serve!
