Oil-Free Sweet Potato Fries
These soft and crispy oil-free sweet potato fries are tossed with fragrant spices and baked to perfection! Customizable and incredibly easy to make, they are a healthy and delicious kid-friendly side dish. Enjoy with a veggie burger and any vegan dips!
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (1.15 lbs / 520 g)
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cumin powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the sweet potatoes (or leave the skin on if you like) and get a sharp knife.
- Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into thick slices and place them next to each other on your baking sheet.
- Add the spices and salt, then toss to coat the fries evenly.
- Alternatively, you can place the sweet potato fries in a bag or large bowl and shake until the fries are well-coated.
- Now, arrange the strips into a single layer and bake for 30 minutes, until they are lightly brown and crispy. To ensure they bake evenly, you can flip the sweet potato fries after 20 minutes.
- Once your oil-free sweet potato fries are done, remove them from the oven and serve warm alongside some vegan dips.
Notes
- Instead of orange sweet potatoes, you can use any other variety — even good old white potatoes taste wonderful when spiced and baked into crispy fries in the oven.
- Use your favorite spices, such as smoked paprika, curry powder or even nutritional yeast sprinkled on your sweet potato fries! You can also create a sweet version using cinnamon which makes for a really healthy breakfast or snack.
- Slice the sweet potatoes very thin to make them crispier!
