Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin, even fries (about 1/4-inch thick) for optimal crispiness.

      Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato fries with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Toss well until all fries are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure they crisp up nicely.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time. Watch for them to become golden brown and crispy.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy these savory, crispy fries as a healthy side or snack!
