Tips and Notes
- Sweet Potatoes: Use fresh sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture. Cut them into uniform fries for even cooking.
- Cooking Method: Bake the fries at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for maximum crispiness. For extra crunch, consider frying them.
- Toppings: Load them up with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, crispy bacon, jalapeños, or black beans. Feel free to get creative!
- Sauce: Drizzle with your choice of sauces, such as ranch, BBQ, or a spicy sriracha mayo, to enhance the flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftover loaded sweet potato fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
