Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss 2 medium peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1/2-inch sticks with 2 tbsp olive oil until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the sweet potato sticks in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip each fry using a spatula and roast for an additional 15 minutes until edges are golden and crisp.
  3. Step 3: While fries roast, combine 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Remove fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over them while still hot. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm as a sweet and lightly spiced treat perfect for kids and adults.
