You probably have all the ingredients to make these already in your home, which makes things even easier.

Seasoned Sweet Potato Fries (paleo, GF)

I love that these fries have the ideal balance between soft and crisp texture. I also like that the seasoning adds heat and flavor.

I’d say that my favorite part about these fries though, is that you just really feel like you are eating fries…instead of baked sweet potatoes.

Which tastes so good! Especially when you are in the mood for fries!

Ingredients needed:

  • sweet potatoes
  • cayenne pepper
  • paprika
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • coconut flour
  • olive oil

How to make these Paleo sweet potato fries

Step 1) season the uncooked fries

I have found the key to seasoning the pre-cooked fries is to toss them in coconut flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper, all while the sweet potatoes are in a large bowl.

Sprinkling the seasoning on top of the pan just doesn’t work as well and the coconut flour doesn’t work it’s magic that way.

Coconut flour absorbs the natural liquid from the sweet potato, which makes crispier fries possible.

Step 2) lay them out on the pan

Once the sweet potatoes are covered in the seasoning, make sure to lay them all out on the pan so that each fry touches the bottom.

You may be tempted to just dump the fries onto the pan from the bowl but it’s worth the extra minute it takes to arrange them on the pan. The fries cook more evenly that way.

Step 3) Bake

Also, once you take the fries out of the oven, it is important to not leave them on the pan too long.

This should be no problem though because these bad boys never last long.

How to serve these Whole30 sweet potato fries:

I most often eat these fries with chicken, but you can eat them with whatever your heart (or stomach) desires! From burgers, to steak, to fish… these fries taste great with them all.

That’s the beauty of these fries, they are so versatile!

Speaking of versatile, what other spices do you enjoy putting on your sweet potato fries? I’m curious to try new flavor combinations!

Simple fry recipe for sweet potatoes.

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • Set oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cover a cookie sheet in aluminum foil.
  • Pour 1 tbs olive oil onto the foiled cookie sheet and use a silicone basting brush to brush it evenly onto the pan. (I used a silicone pastry brush).

  • Cut the sweet potatoes in fry shaped pieces and put into a large bowl.
  • Cover the potatoes in the spices and mix well in the bowl.

  • Enjoy 🙂
