Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for lightly coating
- 6 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced like steak fries
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 packet taco seasoning mix
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, drizzle oil over the potatoes and toss to coat. Add salt and taco seasoning mix and toss. Place sweet potato fries in one even layer onto a baking sheet. Keep space between them so they get crispy on all sides. Bake in batches.
- Place into the oven for 10 minutes, then flip them over. Place back in for 10 more minutes. They should be soft on the inside and browned on the outside. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Reviews
I didn’t peel the potatoes, as the nutrients lay just under the skin. Used lemon pepper seasoning and a bit of Old Bay. Delicious! Will make again using other spices.
I used Montreal seasoning in place of the taco seasoning, which turned out very well. Like many of the other reviewers, these ended up very soft and not at all crispy. I baked for an extra 10 minutes, which browned them a little bit, but didn’t help the crispiness.
I read the reviews of all the sweet potato fry recipes and thought I would try to solve the sogginess problem, but no dice. I microwaved the potatoes for a few minutes first so they were easy to slice. I sprayed with high-heat PAM to save some calories and coated generously with sea salt. I baked on a large pizza pan (the kind with holes in the bottom) and turned once while cooking. They did brown nicely and tasted great but still a bit soggy. Will definitely make again.
Just made these tonight and I was a little dissapointed because my fries did not get crispy at all! Although despite that they sure tasted great :).
I halved the recipe, using only 3 sweet potatoes etc etc. I used about 2 tablespoons of EVOO and put them in the oven for a total of 30 mins on 475. I figured by letting them stay in the oven longer at a higher temperature that they would crisp up better cuz I love a crispy french fry!
Any suggestions to solve my uncrispy situation/
Everyone who tried this receipe loved it. Unfortunatley, those who don’t like sweet potatoes, wouldn’t even give it a try (except one). The hardest part of this receipe was peeling the sweet potatoes (guess I need some direction on peeling sweet potatoes – not as easy as peeling a potatoe).
i didnt think i would like these fries but i was pleasantly surprised. things always taste better when cooked at home.
What a great substitution for regular greasy fatty fries. Even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy this. Mine did!
My 10 month old refuses to eat anything with a spoon. He loved these! The adults were happy with them too!
These were a hit with my partner and were a good substitution for other simple carbs in our Saturday lunch. Easy to make too. I think I cut them too thin, though. Will try them a bit thicker next time. Might even try it with the skin on?
I did enjoy this recipe VERY much, great flavor – easy – have tried it a couple of times and now I am trying it with my own flair. I still want a crunch to the sweet potato without frying it. Dont know what to do though. The desire is to get a crunchy healthy sweet potato is still strong and continue to find it. THANK YOU!!
