Sweet potatoes are sliced into even sticks, tossed with oil and salt, then roasted at high heat until browned outside and tender within. A simple side for burgers, sandwiches, or grain bowls, this recipe skips the fuss of extra seasonings to let the natural sweetness of the potato come through.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch sticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into even 1/4-inch thick sticks, roughly the size of standard fries.

  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.

  4. Spread the fries in a single layer across the two baking sheets, leaving space between pieces so they don't steam.

  5. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip the fries with a spatula.

  6. Continue roasting until the fries are browned and crisp at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes more.

  7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
