5 Crispy Sweet Potato Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, cornstarch, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl.
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 wedges. Place in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Add spice mixture and stir with a rubber spatula or your hands until potatoes are completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the thickest parts of potato wedges are easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Beat egg whites and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
• Combine crushed cereal, parsley, and basil in a pie plate.
• Dip each potato slice into egg mixture and then into cereal mixture.
• Cost well.
• Place slices on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 435* oven for 20 minutes.
• Turn slices over and bake for 10 more minutes until tender.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Set a pot of water on medium-high heat to boil.
• Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes, slice them into roughly 1/3 inch sheets, then into roughly 1/3 inch thick fries. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Once the water has boiled, add the vinegar and a 3 finger pinch of salt, stirring to dissolve the salt. Add the sweet potato fries to the boiling water and set a timer for 6 minutes. When the time is up, drain the fries into a colander. Using a fork lightly scratch the surface of the fries to help the slurry mixture mix into the nooks and crannies.
• Meanwhile, add the 50 g cornstarch and 80 g of cold water to a bowl. Stir until completely combined with no clumps remaining. Add the still hot, drained fries to the bowl and toss until the slurry thickens and sticks to the fries. If you need a little more cornstarch feel free to add it. The mixture should lightly coat the fries.
• Using tongs, move the fries to a wire rack over a large baking sheet. Evenly space the fries so none of them are touching. Using a squirt bottle or spoon, drizzle the peanut oil over the fries trying to get an even coating over each one (you could also use a baking spray though I didn't find it works as well). Add the sweet potatoes to the oven and set a timer for 15 minutes.
• Pull the baking sheet out and flip the fries with a spatula. At this point, you should be able to see some blistering on the outside but the fries won't be overly crisp. If they look a little dry, drizzle over more peanut oil. Add them back to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. At this point, they should be slightly browned and crispy though it could take longer depending on the size of the fry, how crowded the pan is or the oil used. If they aren't crispy, let them go longer!
• Pour in the fries into a bowl. Immediately a pinch of salt and a couple of cranks of black pepper. Toss the fries in the seasoning and enjoy with the dipping sauce of your choice. Feel free to add spices, fresh herbs, cheeses, or any flavorings of your choice during this stage.

Steps:

• Lightly smash the sweet potatoes with the palm of your hand until the potato flesh is visible.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt together the butter and olive oil. Add the smashed sweet potatoes and rosemary and cook until the sweet potatoes are crispy and golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with ½ teaspoon sea salt.
• In a small bowl, mix together the crème fraˆche, half of the lemon zest, the lemon juice, chives, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt until smooth.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving plate and pour the crème fraîche sauce on top. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and garnish with a sprinkle of chives, the remaining lemon zest, and black pepper. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Beat sweet potatoes, brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together with an electric hand mixer in a bowl until smooth and creamy; pour into the prepared casserole dish.
• Pour 1/3 cup melted butter over pecans in a bowl; stir to coat. Add flour; stir until combined. Sprinkle pecan mixture over sweet potato mixture.
