Turn the oven to 220 °C and let it heat fully before the fries go in.
Peel the sweet potatoes, working from top to tail, and set the skins aside for the bin.
Sweet potato · 900 g
Cut each peeled sweet potato lengthways into 1 cm slabs.
Stack the slabs and cut them lengthways again into 1 cm wide batons, keeping them as even as you can so they cook at the same rate.
Pour the olive oil into a large bowl.
Extra-virgin olive oil · 3 tbsp
Add the salt to the bowl.
Fine salt · 1 tspAdd the ground black pepper to the bowl.
Ground black pepper · 0.5 tspAdd the garlic powder to the bowl.
Garlic powder · 0.5 tspAdd the smoked paprika to the bowl.
Smoked paprika · 0.5 tspStir the oil and spices together until evenly combined.
Tip the sweet potato batons into the bowl.
Toss the batons through the spiced oil until every surface is evenly coated.
Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Spread the coated batons across the lined tray in a single layer, making sure none of them touch, so the heat can circulate around each one.
Slide the tray into the oven.
Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the fries over with tongs at the halfway point, until the edges are golden and the tips are beginning to crisp.
Lift the tray out of the oven using oven gloves and set it on the counter.

Sweet Potato Fries
Sweet potato fries with garlic powder and smoked paprika. Crispy exterior with soft interior, seasoned for savory depth and mild spice.
What you’ll doYou will peel and cut sweet potatoes into even batons, coat them in oil and spices, spread them on a tray without touching, and roast them at high heat for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The fries need space around them to crisp properly, and timing matters: they finish when the edges are golden.
