How Do You Make Crispy Sweet Potato Fries in the Oven?
Cut the Sweet Potato into Wedges
Cutting the sweet potato into even wedges creates two flat surface areas for browning and helps the fries crisp up and brown evenly. When baking, turn them once halfway into the roasting time.
Don’t Overcrowd the Baking Sheet
The sweet potato wedges should be in a single layer with some space between them, which allows air to circulate around them. Overcrowding the sweet potatoes will steam them instead of roasting them.
Bake at a High Temperature
The sweet potatoes are roasted at 450°F. The higher oven temperature ensures the sweet potatoes develop a golden brown color and crisp edges without having to bake them for too long.
Flavor Variations to Try
For this recipe, we use a pinch of cayenne pepper to flavor the sweet potato fries. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices. Try ourhealthy spice mix recipesandseasoning blends and herb mixes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
