Oven baked sweet potato fries

[calebsmommy25]

How do you get crispy oven baked sweet potato fries? I've only attempted once, and they were very soggy. What are your tips to making them crunchy and yummy? Please share...ds and I would really like to indulge in some tonight!

It's possible you just need a longer cooking time. Mine always go soft first, and then if I let them cook longer, that's when they crisp up.

high heat in the oven
olive oil coating
don't let the fries touch each other at all
bake til they are as crispy as you want them
I freeze mine beforehand, but that is more for convenience than anything else.

I cut them, shake them in a bag with olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Bake at 375F for 20 minutes, then flip and cook for another 20 minutes. My kids scarf them down.

Sounds good, thanks for the information.

I cut mine a little thin and cook them on 350 until they are crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes.

DUH! Why didn't I ever think of this!? I make these all the time, but how much easier would it be to cut a bunch @ one time then only use what I need since I frequently wind up needing less than another whole potato?

I always bake mine on a cast iron skillet.

Higher heat is good - oiling your cooking pan first (in addition to the oil you toss them in) also helps a lot.

yum! sounds so good right now, I wish I had more sweet potatoes.

I made them this week, and had always had a sogginess problem. I read the Americas Test Kitchen recipe, and they were perfect. Toss 2 large potatoes with 4 TBS olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook at 450 for at least 22-25 minutes.
