How to Make Oil-Free Sweet Potato Fries
Roasting any vegetable without oil feels daunting at first, but with a little experimenting, you're going to fall in love.
Vegetables that are naturally moist, like potatoes, will require less fuss when roasting without oil.
- Start by preheating the oven to 400°F and lining a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Next, peel and cut your sweet potato into fries and put in a mound on the sheet pan.
- Now it's time to season the fries. Toss the fries with the spices and a little bit of water until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned fries in an even layer on the sheet pan.
- Bake the sweet potato fries for 15 minutes, toss, and then cook another 8 to 12 minutes, depending on desired crispness.
- Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and enjoy!
Top Tips
Make sure to use parchment paper! Parchment paper or a silicone baking mat is a must to prevent sticking, so don't skip this.
Get creative with the spices! You can season the sweet potato with whatever you please, but my favorite is garlic powder, paprika, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Sprinkle the seasonings over the fries along with a tablespoon of water to help the spices stick.
Don't overcrowd the pan! Take care not to crowd the sweet potatoes too much, or they will steam and be soft and a little soggy rather than crispy.
