- 2 tablespoons olive oil For coating
- 1 teaspoon paprika For seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder For seasoning
- Salt and pepper To taste
- Fresh parsley For garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure fries are crispy.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and carrots, then cut them into fries shapes about a quarter of an inch thick.
Coating
- In a large bowl, combine the cut sweet potatoes and carrots. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well coated.
- Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the coated fries and toss again to ensure even seasoning.
Baking
- Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, avoiding overlap.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even baking.
- Check for crispiness after 30 minutes; if needed, bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Serving
- Remove the fries from the oven and, if desired, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Ensure that vegetables are cut evenly for consistent cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve crispy fries. Consider adding various spices for customization.
