13 of the Best Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipes

Crispy and flavorful with just a hint of sweetness, a good batch of sweet potato fries can rival even the best French fries.

Sweet or spicy, they can be seasoned to create hundreds of unique combinations, all incredibly delicious.

And best yet: sweet potatoes boast an excellent nutrient profile that makes them a worthy addition to any diet.

Their high fiber content means they keep you feeling full and satisfied – and the fact they are loaded with vitamin A means they’ve got extra health benefits, including being good for your eyesight.

Swapping out your white potatoes for this sweet variety is a great way to make sure you’re getting the most nutritional bang for your buck.

Take Your Fries Over the Top

A few tips for how to bake sweet potato fries and guarantee the best batch possible:

  • Cut your baking time significantly by cutting them into smaller chunks. Cutting them down to about ¼-inch decreases your chance of biting into a big chunk of raw potato on the inside.
  • Soak them before baking to maximize crispiness. This draws out excess starch and allows them to cook better through.
  • Always line your pan with aluminum foil to prevent sticking. Skip this step and there’s a good chance you’ll be stuck trying to scrape chunks of potato off your pan for hours. Not fun.
  • Wait until after baking to sprinkle any salt over top otherwise you might end up with floppy, wilted fries.
  • Avoid putting too many fries on one pan or your fries might not end up cooked thoroughly. Spread them out and flip halfway through baking for the best results.
