Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

• 2 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch sticks
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, pepper
• Dipping sauce: 1/4 cup mayo + 1 tbsp sriracha + 1 tsp lime juice

Method

1. Toss sweet potato sticks with cornstarch (this is the crispiness secret), then oil, salt, pepper.

2. Spread in a single layer on 2 sheet pans (don't crowd).

3. Bake 425°F for 15 min. Flip. Bake 10 min more until crispy.

4. Serve with sriracha mayo.

What You're Practicing

• Cornstarch coating is the trick for crispy baked fries — it creates a thin, crunchy shell.
• Two sheet pans prevent crowding, which causes steaming instead of crisping.
