How to make crispy oven baked sweet potato fries



It is way too often were I bake sweet potato fries and they came out soft and soggy. Does that happen to you? I love crispy fries, so I am going to share with you how to make your sweet potato fries crispy and delicious. 

The key is to coat your sweet potatoes with starch- such as corn, tapioca, arrowroot, potato starch.  Starch is known to absorb moisture which will lend to the crispy texture. 

Ok, lets get started. You need the following ingredients 


  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes, sliced into fries- I find the thinner the slices the better 
  • 1 tbsp Arrowroot or corn starch
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil 
  • 1/2 tsp Sea or Himalayan Salt
  • 1/2 tsp of onion powder (optional for added flavor)
Directions: 
  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  1. Toss the sliced sweet potatoes in the arrowroot or corn starch, make sure they are evenly coated. Add the avocado, sea salt and continue tossing
  1. Line the sweet potato cuts on parchment paper, making sure they are evenly spaced out and not touching.
  1. Bake for about 18 minutes then remove and flip the fries on the other side.  Bake for another 18 minutes. Keep an eye out to avoid burning the fries.
  1. Remove from the oven. Toss with onion powder. Serve with a favorite dip of your choice and bon appetite!
