Recipe type: Main Dishes
Serves: 1 large serving
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato
cool water (for soaking)
2 Tablespoons garlic powder
salt to taste
Instructions
Rinse and cut sweet potato in half (the short way, leaving 2 potato ends).
Slice each half the long way into thin straws (about as thin as a pencil.)
Fill a large bowl with cool water and soak fries for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. (See notes for tin foil substitution.)
Place soaked fries on a clean napkin or a few sheets of paper towel and press dry.
Place each fry on lined baking sheet with space in between each one. (Not much space is needed.)
Bake fries 20 minutes.
Flip each fry, with bare hands or small tongs.
Bake another 13-17 minutes, depending on how crispy you want your fries. (I prefer mine extra crispy.)
Transfer to plate and dip in mashed avocado, ketchup or tomato sauce.
Notes
* If you want to use tin foil instead of parchment paper, lightly grease with olive oil to keep from sticking and burning.
