sweet potato fries on plate

Herb roasted sweet potato fries are a “too good to be true” food! I feel like I’m indulging in something unhealthy BUT these are not at all (quite the opposite)! I LOVE foods like this!

Sweet potatoes are loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals with many other benefits. My sister’s herb garden was getting out of control so I brought home TONS of fresh herbs. These fries were the perfect way to use them up!

how to make sweet potato fries

Before cutting the fries, make sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch (which will help them crisp when you cook).

When you’re ready to cut them, drain and use a towel to pat them dry, completely.

To cut the sweet potato, it’s easiest to slice off a bit of each side. This gives you stability as you cut further. It also creates more square, uniform fries.

Next, you’ll want to chop all of your fresh herbs. Play around with the herbs you use, you really can’t go wrong! Additionally, I used my herb-infused olive oil for extra flavor on these suckers.

how to make sweet potato fries perfectly crispy

Make sure you lay the fries in an even layer on your baking sheet. You’ll probably need a second sheet with this recipe. It’s so important not to overcrowd or you won’t achieve the desired crispiness! It’s also helpful to use parchment paper so they don’t stick.

After 15 minutes in the oven, flip the fries on both sheets. It’s also a good time to rotate the baking sheets between racks for even cooking.

When they come out of the oven I added a drizzle a tad more olive oil and Celtic sea salt flakes. Serve immediately.

These get eaten up in seconds at our dinner table!
