Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, cornstarch, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then slice each half into three wedges. Put the wedges in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss everything so the potatoes get nicely coated. Sprinkle the spice mix over the potatoes and stir well—using a spatula or your hands—to make sure every piece is covered. Spread the wedges out on the baking sheet in a single layer. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the thickest part with a fork and they’re crispy on the outside.
Why you’ll love it
These sweet potato sticks are a perfect mix of crispy and sweet. They offer a healthier alternative to regular fries while still satisfying your craving for something crunchy and flavorful. Plus, they are easy to make and great for any meal or snack.
How to serve
Serve these crunchy sticks with a variety of dips like garlic aioli, spicy ketchup, or honey mustard. They also pair well with grilled meats, salads, or as a tasty side for sandwiches.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to help regain their crispiness instead of using the microwave, which can make them soggy.
