Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries are a seriously delicious side dish, with tons of flavor! They're easy to make and the perfect combination of sweet and salty.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice chex cereal, or gluten free corn flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the cereal, rosemary and parmesan to a food processor. Blend for 30-60 seconds into a fine crumb mixture. Set aside.
- Slice the sweet potatoes as uniformly as possible into ¼ inch fries. To do this, slice each potato straight down the middle, lengthwise, then slice vertically into “fries”, then slice each fry in half.
- Place the sweet potato fries in a large plastic bag, then add the olive oil.
- Toss to coat, then add the rosemary parmesan cereal coating to the bag.
- Toss to coat, then place the fries in an even layer on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
- To peel or not to peel? I do not peel my sweet potatoes, because I like the texture of the skin. This is totally a personal choice and you can peel the potatoes before making the fries, if you'd like.
- Purchasing sweet potatoes: when making this recipe, try to purchase sweet potatoes that are long and skinny. They're easier to cut into fries than the thicker, round sweet potatoes.
- Using a wire rack for baking: these fries can also be baked on an oiled wire rack on top of a baking sheet. If baking on a wire rack, the fries do not need to be flipped half way through the baking process.
- Reheating: To reheat these sweet potato fries, place them back on a baking sheet in an even layer and into a 425°F oven for 5 minutes, or until crispy and heated through.
