Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds/900g)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into long, thin strips (about 1/2 inch/1cm thick).
3. Place sweet potato strips in a bowl and drizzle with oil. Toss to coat.
4. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) over sweet potatoes. Toss again to coat evenly.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange sweet potato strips in a single layer.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve hot and enjoy!
Optional: For an extra crispy coating, try soaking sweet potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes before baking. Pat dry with paper towels before tossing with oil and seasonings.
Note: For a deep-fried version, heat about 2-3 inches (5-7.5cm) of vegetable oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry sweet potato strips in batches until crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
