Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
Serves 2–3 · Prep 10 min · Cook 30 min — Oven-roasted sweet potato fries coated in cornflour for crispness; soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes first.
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into ½cm batons
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, pepper and smoked paprika
- Soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 min to remove surface starch. Drain and pat completely dry.
- Toss with cornflour first, then the oil and seasoning.
- Spread on a wire rack over a tray (or straight on a hot tray), not overlapping.
- Roast at 220°C fan for 25–30 min, flipping halfway.
They won't be quite as crisp as regular potato fries — sweet potatoes have more moisture and sugar.
Air fryer: same soak and cornflour method, about 180°C for 15–18 min, shaking halfway. Don't overlap — cook in batches.
