Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

Cooking spray (optional for greasing the baking sheet)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats, prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly spraying it with cooking spray for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Carefully wash and peel the sweet potatoes. With a sharp knife, cut them into thin fries, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch. This uniform size will ensure they cook evenly and become delightfully crispy.

      Make the Seasoning Mix: In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and cayenne pepper (if you’re opting for a spicy kick). Mix well until evenly combined, and set it aside for later use.

        Coat the Fries: In a large mixing bowl, add the cut sweet potato fries. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss gently until all the fries are well coated with the oil.

          Add Cinnamon Sugar: Take the cinnamon sugar mixture you prepared earlier and sprinkle it evenly over the oiled fries. Toss again to ensure that every fry is coated in the sweet and spiced blend.

            Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping, as this will help them achieve maximum crispiness during baking.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Be sure to flip the fries halfway through the baking time for even cooking. Keep a close eye on them as cooking times can vary by oven and cut thickness; you’re looking for a golden-brown color and a crispy texture.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for about a minute. Serve them warm as a delicious snack or side dish, and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and spicy flavors!
