These are a healthier alternative to your favorite restaurant fried sweet potatoes fries but they still have the same delicious flavor! Easy to make and the whole family can agree on these!

Ingredients
Fries
2lbssweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks*(cut really long sticks in half)
Heat oven and prepare baking sheets: Set oven racks in upper and lower third of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease two 18 by 13-inch baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
In a small mixing bowl whisk together cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
Place sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil then pour cornstarch mixture over sweet potatoes and toss to evenly coat.
Divide sweet potatoes among the two baking sheets then spread out evenly.
Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes, then remove from oven and turn fries.
Return to oven (preferably on opposite rack the were on prior) and bake until until fries are golden brown in spots, about 10 minutes longer.
Serve warm with a dipping sauce if desired. If you'd like you can also garnish with a little minced parsley for a pop of green color.
Notes
*Cut the sweet potatoes as evenly as possible so they bake at the same rate.
Tip: If you want fries a little crispier you can preheat the baking sheets in the oven for a few minutes and cut the fries a little bit thinner.
I like to serve with ketchup or fry sauce. To make fry sauce mix 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup ketchup, 3/4 tsp apple cider vinegar, a few dashes cayenne pepper or paprika (sauces not included in nutrition estimate).
