- Toss the cut sweet potatoes in the seasonings and oil til well coated.
- Place them on a lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake, flipping half way, til golden brown.
- Garnish with cilantro, salt, pepper and parmesan to serve.
Sweet potatoes come in an orange flesh and cream flesh varieties. I prefer to use the lighter flesh ones as the orange tend to have a higher water content so they don’t crisp up as nicely.
You can make this recipe with russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Par-boil them for 10 minutes first though or they will still be a little raw in the middle.
You can make these in the air fryer, but for best results you will need to cook them in a single layer so they crisp up all over. Cook them at 400F for around 20 minutes til crispy and tender.

Are these sweet potato fries crispy?
Sweet potato fries don’t crisp up as well as potato fries, but because we add flour to the coating they do have a nice crunch to them.
