Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into fries 
  • 1 tsp olive oil 
  • Salt (for sprinkling, not too much!) 
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional) 
  • ½ garlic granules

A tip from Sweetato: To help make your fries yummy and crispy without them turning black in the oven, cut the potatoes into ¼ inch thick spears then cut off the pointy tips of the spears so they don’t burn! Square-off your edges!
