How to Make Garlic Sweet Potato Fries

I’ve walked you through how to make these easy sweet potato fries in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of the process.

How to Cut Sweet Potatoes Into Fries

You can cut the sweet potatoes into a classic french fry shape, or you can cut them into wedges. I prefer cutting mine into smaller french fries.

• Cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise, without peeling them. You want the slices to be 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut each slice into batons about 1/4 inch wide and 3 inches long.

How Long to Cook Sweet Potato Fries

• Once the fries have been cut, arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Toss with olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Roast at 450F until tender and browned on the edges, about 20-25 minutes.

Flavoring the Garlic Sweet Potato Fries

• In a bowl, mix together the Parmesan, parsley, and garlic.
• Sprinkle over warm oven fries and mix gently to coat.
• Season to taste with additional salt, and serve immediately.

What to Dip Sweet Potato Fries In

Try dipping your garlic parmesan sweet potato fries in one of the following:

• Greek Yogurt Pesto Dip
• Chipotle Lime Dipping Sauce
• Honey BBQ Sauce
• Ketchup
• Ranch dressing
• Honey mustard

What to Serve with Sweet Potato Fries

Now that you’ve got your sweet potato fry dipping sauce figured out, you need to find a main dish to pair them with! Here are some of my favorite entrees to serve with sweet potato fries:

• Blue Cheese Balsamic Burgers
• Gouda-Stuffed Burgers
• Black Bean Quinoa Burgers
