These crispy oven baked sweet potato fries are absolutely addictive. I warned you! They are sweet and salty, crunchy outside but soft inside and they are a tiny bit spicy. Just so good you can’t stop eating them.
This is really something we eat very often, I think at least once a week. Sometimes as fries, other times as wedges or cubes or chips. Such a perfect comfort food, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I mean for the regular potato fries. NO!! Never!
They are super easy to make. Just cut them into desired shape, toss with enough olive oil to coat them evenly, add your spices and bake until they get a bit browned. And just like always you can use whatever spices you fancy here. These fries are great with paprika, cumin, thyme, curry and with my favorite: cinnamon!

Sweet potato fries are the best! Not only are they delicious, they’re so good for you. Love the homemade ketchup recipe Evi!
I am really crazy about sweet potatoes, I sometimes eat way too much of them…and then tell myself it’s okay because they are so good for me 😉
Oh yum these fries look great! I have to start eating more sweet potatoes
Usually I don’t like ketchup, but this homemae kind looks so delicious – I have to try and make my own some time 🙂 Thanks for the lovely recipe
I am not a fan of ketchup too! But homemade ones somehow don’t taste bad for me. Same with tomato sauces, I can’t stand the ones from jars but I love the homemade versions 🙂
I love sweet potato fries. So yummy! And the homemade ketchup looks so much better than the store bought stuff.
Thank you, Melissa! Sweet potato fries are really the best food ever 😉
I loooove sweet potatoes, and turning them into fries is the best! But I always have a hard time getting them to crisp up just right. Thank you for, this Evi! Can’t wait to try your recipe!
It happened often with me too…but somehow I don’t mind having too crispy and not crisp pieces at the same time. I really like sweet potatoes doesn’t matter what.
Have you tried to precook the potatoes? I’ve noticed that that way I can cut them better plus I just have to put them in the oven for a short time so they get crispy on the outside. For me it works best with wedges, but also great with fries. Usually I’m too lazy to make them this way, but it really works 😉
Lovely recipe and photos! I love sweet potato fries ^.^
