Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Sweet Potato Fries lightly coated with your favorite oil & tossed with seasonings then baked in the oven for a healthier way to serve fries to your family. My husband never liked sweet potatoes prepared any which way but he did these!
Ingredients
Peel the sweet potatoes.
Slice the potatoes into 1/2” thick by about
3” long pieces and place into a bowl.
Drizzle the oil over the fries and toss.
Sprinkle with the salt, pepper and paprika.
Toss until combined.
Place the fries on a large baking sheet
in a single layer and place into a
preheated 400 degree oven.
Bake for 15 minutes, turn them over with a spatula
and continue to cook until they get crispy on the
outside. This can take approximately 15 – 25 minutes
more depending on the thickness of your fries.
Place on a plate and serve.

So delicious
They really were, thank you!
welcome
I love sweet potato fries, but mine never get crispy, I will try making them thicker and cooking longer.
Yes they take a while to cook to get crispy. I bake my regular fries at 450 for 40-45 minutes. I may bake these like that next time to see if they get done quicker but regardless, they turned out great.
I am probably just not patient enough. Have you tried doing them in your air fryer? I just bought one.
OMG I wanted to so bad but the grandkids were here and I made 2#’s of them. I don’t think I could have cooked them all at once so I opted for the oven instead. I will do that down the road and post it though.
The trick is the right temp & time & thickness so they are crisp and not burned on the outside, cooked on inside. There’s a huge difference between 400 & 450. So 400 is best for these guys. Looking forward to trying – I haven’t yet had success with crispy on outside sweet spot.
Thank you for telling me!!!! I would have been made if I would have ruined them. ❤️
I am sure this is really amazing ,sweet and slight spicy .Thanks a lot for sharing.Take care.🌹👍🙏
Thank you Francis!❤️
Most welcome Madam.🌹🙏
Sweet potato season, I love this time of year! 😋
Me too!!!
🤩 wow
Thanks!
My wife is going to love this recipe.
It is not just good but healthy too! Enjoy!!!
I’m going to have to try these!!
They are worth it and such a nice change. Let me know what you think.
Wow awesome
The were very, very good. Thanks so much!
Thank you for the recipe! It tastes amazing!
Yum! I love sweet potatoes anyway they come.
Me too Lena! Thanks and have a great Friday!
They look incredible!! On my list to make : )
They were so good. My hubby seriously doesn’t like sweet potatoes and he shocked me when he said these were good! Thank you and enjoy!
Enjoy I think they taste amazing. Thank you!
Looks good, but I never tasted it before, got to try it.
They are very good. Usually I bake them just like a regular baked potato with butter but I really love the fries too.
Thought at first this was another in your series of airfryer tests – I would have loved that, although it’s just getting the time and temperature settings adjusted for the perfect fry.
Thanks. I love sweet potato fries! Will try this, even if my husband (so picky) doesn’t like them. More for me!
I will be trying and posting the Air fryer sweet potato fries so keep watching.
I need to try these! they look delicious!!
They really are and so easy to make. Thank you!💕
These are some of our favorites! I toss a little crushed cayenne pepper flakes in ours! 😊

I would love that but I don’t think the grandkids would have…lol I love hot and spicy and they always kid me about how I should just eat the hot peppers plain. Hahaha
Immensely attractive Diane, will
try !! 💕
Awww thank you! 🌺
I made a similar recipe a few days ago. Just love them and so does my husband!
I want to try them in the air fryer next to see if there is any difference in taste and crispiness.
That sounds great! I used some Cajun seasoning to give ours some zip, as my Mom would say.
That’s funny you say that Sarah. My grandkids make fun of me because I eat so much hot stuff. I love spicy but try not to make it when they are here. I love Cajun seasonings and I bet that would taste amazing!
Yum yum yum and so healthy! I will have to try these.
On the note of sweet potatoes, I use them in stews instead of regular potatoes and they add a nice sweetness to the broth!
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving weekend!
That is a great idea! I have never heard of that or tasted them in stews. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to you three too!
I’ve never had sweet potato fries but whenever I see photos of them, I want to reach into the computer screen. 🙂
You could buy one sweet potato and make them. They are so good Linda!
You know I have never had a sweet potato except out in a restaurant – my mom did not make them, and I don’t think they were popular in Canada, so it was not something she grew up eating, thus none for us on the menu. I need to expand my horizons and try sweet potato fries. [P,.S,. – you would be proud of me Diane … I went grocery shopping today 2X – whew. This was for pantry items for over the Winter. I have bought a few new type things to make with my crock-pot dinners, like noodles nade from cauliflower, chickpeas and zucchini (that’s three types of noodles). Got the veggie noodles store brand last time I went. So, they had some tortlli (spinach and cheese) but dried in a package, not in the refrigerated section that is near the pasta noodles and sauces. Wasn’t sure about getting that – maybe they won’t cook in the crock-pot. Will wait til I am more advanced. 🙂 then try.) I’m looking forward to the 2-3 Mexican meals I’ll make over the Winter. Having fun trying new things –
am so glad you convinced me to get it.
How wonderful! I’m glad you got the shopping done since Covid is coming back strong! I would think the dried tortellini would work fine. If you have to, cook them accordingly to the package directions and put them in the crock pot at the end of cooking your meal.
OK, I will get them then – I have to wait til the laptop is off there as I have nowhere to put it in the meantime. Also problematic … when he finally puts us on Windows 10 and I use it, where am I going to put the one I’m on now. I already have the old one in my room and a backup Windows 7 my boss got (in case this one had issues) … my problem has been not enough plugs in the house … it will still be the same problem. I will figure it out over the Winter I guess. Our Governor lost her second appeal to keep her measures in place to keep safe. I don’t know if she’ll file any more appeals. We are really on the rise strong too Diane – today there were 30 new deaths and 1,237 new confirmed cases … not happy to hear that at all.
Ohio too we had 2,039 new cases just yesterday. I’m not sure what the death total was. I’m already freaking out because I am having a small birthday party for my 2 year old grandson on the 23rd. I will have 10-11 here, including an 91-80-85-62-61 and younger. Then we repeat it for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Wow – I can’t “like’ this news … we shattered a record today, more cases than in April (April 14th the previously high record) … they say it is due to “finding” new cases, but still. Well, are you intending to have it outdoors, maybe in the new cabana? I guess a warm afternoon might work … Thanksgiving and Christmas in your state … dicey for outside. Hopefully this surge will not continue. Sigh.
I’m not sure what we will do. It will be a short party, just ice cream, cake and gifts. After three grandkids all weekend and my husband works 5 hours on Sunday when the party is, I am on my own. I don’t have enough energy to feed everyone too. I even ordered the cake…lol
I don’t blame you for that Diane. Ice cream and cake and no food is fine.
I love sweet potatoes like yours my hubby doesn’t but he does like fries so I may try these and not tell him and see what he says 🙂 They do look delicious, Diane 🙂
I was shocked when my husband said they were good. He has never even wanted to try anything sweet potato before.
Hopefully mine will like them too.. Fongers crossed 🤞
They are better than regular fries, i love them everyway even mashed lol
Me too Sandy!
Yum, I think I am going to make these!
They are very good and so easy. Sometimes I just don’t feel like making pie crust. Thank you Tierney!
I always have a little trouble with sweet potato fries, but then I realized – via your recipe – that I should be cooking them at a higher temperature. Good to know!
Yes and don’t be afraid to cook them longer to get them crispier. Hard to give an exact time due to the thickness. I have some now I want to try in the air fryer to see the difference.
Hmmm mouth watering ! Need to try this today 🙂
Thanks they turned out very good.
Funny thing. I can’t eat sweet potatoes. Can’t even look at them. But I did taste a fry once and actually liked it…until I found out what it was.
Hahahaha the way our mind works. As you know I cook almost anything so to get my kids, when they were young, and my grandkids to try them I always say it’s chicken. However, usually my husband ruins it and tells them! 😂
Yeah. We husbands have a very special place in heaven where no matter what happens, we can just say, “what?” LOL
Hahahahaha you crack me up!
Yummy!
Thanks I am making them in the air fryer hopefully tomorrow.
So Yummy 😊
I will be posting the same recipe but cooked in the air fryer soon, Thank you!
Thats delishhhh!
Thank you I also made them in the air fryer.
