This recipe request was overwhelming from you all, my Drizzlers. And it made me soooo happy! I LOVE SWEET POTATOES. And what preparation method do I love with sweet potatoes?

OVEN FRIES!!!!

Not to mention, it’s super duper easy. But what I’ve realized is that there are a few little tricks many of you are missing. (1) If you have convection, use that baby! It will help circulate the air around the fries better yielding a crispier fry. (2) Line your trays with parchment paper. Unlike foil or even just using a greased glass dish or metal baking tray parchment paper actually absorbs a little bit of water and prevents it from steaming like the others mentioned tend to do. Result? Crispier fry. (3) Toss your fries with a little bit of starch (see recipe). It absorbs a tiny bit of water as well and creates that crispy coating that makes sweet potato fries so special.

**And, btw, if you have celiac/gluten sensitivity/wheat allergy you should 100% double check about sweet potato fries when you are ordering takeout or at a restaurant. Most often they are coated in flour!**

Enough blabbing, lets get you the recipe for this easy and freaking delicious tuber!

Stay safe out there, Drizzlers
