Baked Sweet Potato Fries With Garlic Butter Recipe

How to Make Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Garlic Butter:

• STEP 1.Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature ensures the fries turn golden brown and crispy. Don’t skip this step – it’s key to achieving the perfect texture.

• STEP 1.Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into long, thin strips. Aim for uniform sizes so that they bake evenly. If you want even crispier fries, soak the sweet potato strips in cold water for about 30 minutes, then pat them dry with a towel.

• STEP 2.In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Make sure all the fries are coated evenly. This seasoning combo adds a beautiful depth of flavor while keeping the fries crispy on the outside.

• STEP 3.Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The fries should be golden brown and crispy by the end of the baking time.

• STEP 4.While the fries are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic – you just want it to soften and infuse the butter with flavor.

• STEP 5.When the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them in the garlic butter glaze. The hot fries will absorb the buttery goodness, making them even more irresistible. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for a pop of color.
