• 2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-large or 3 medium)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Optional spices: freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper and/or garlic powder

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper so the fries don’t get stuck to the pans.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into fry-shaped pieces about ¼″ wide and ¼″ thick. Transfer half of the uncooked fries to one baking sheet, and the other half to the other baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the sweet potato fries with the cornstarch (use 1 ½ teaspoons per pan) and salt (¼ teaspoon per pan). Toss until the fries are lightly coated in powder. Drizzle the olive oil over the fries (1 tablespoon per pan) and toss until the fries are lightly and evenly coated in oil, and no powdery spots remain.
• Arrange your fries in a single layer and don’t overcrowd them; otherwise, they will never crisp up. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the fries.
• Bake for 10 to 18 more minutes, or until the fries are crispy. You’ll know they’re almost done when the surface of the fries changes from shiny orange to a more matte, puffed-up texture.
• If desired, toss the baked fries with seasonings, to taste.  Serve warm!
