Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables. My children like them too, so they’re a low-stress addition to any meal in our house. Not only do they taste delicious, but they’re also a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.
These sweet potato fries are a delicious blend of savory and sweet with the addition of paprika. You could also use cumin or other spices to jazz things up a bit.

Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lbs)
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and grease a baking sheet.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into strips (1/4 inch - 1/2 inch thick).
- Place the sweet potato strips in a bowl and add the olive oil. Stir gently so that all the strips are coated with oil.
- Sprinkle salt and paprika evenly over the strips.
- Arrange the strips on a baking sheet, making sure the thickest pieces are on the outside and the thinnest pieces are on the inside.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes and then flip the fries. Continue baking for another 7-10 minutes, until they are light brown and beginning to get crispy.
- Cool slightly before serving.

I love sweet potato fries with a little curry ketchup (1/4 teaspoon per 1/4 cup ketchup). It tastes great too. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us during Little Family Adventure’s FB party. It was great to have you join us again.
Thanks, Nicky. I like the curry idea. We’ll have to try that.
Have you ever tried freezing them and then reheating either in the oven or toaster oven?
I haven’t tried that, Melissa, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Let me know if you try it.
Love the idea of using paprika – I’ll have to try this!
Thanks! I hope you like it.
