Baked sweet potato fries are an easy, tasty side dish that goes so well with burgers, chicken, or fish. These fries are perfectly seasoned and loved by kids and adults!
Don’t you love sweet potatoes? There are so many tasty ways to eat them – roasted, simmered in vegetable curry, even hidden in grain free chocolate cookies.
But my favorite way to eat them is really the simplest – baked sweet potato fries.
With some olive oil and a few seasonings, it’s easy to make tasty baked fries. These are a favorite with both kids and adults.
You can make as many sweet potato fries as you want – just double or triple the amount in the recipe. You’ll want to use a couple of baking sheets, and make sure that they aren’t overcrowded. If the fries are too close together, you’ll wind up with fries that are either underdone or too soggy.
This is such an easy side dish, and it’s a nice change from traditional french fries.
Ingredient Notes
- Sweet Potatoes – Sometimes people get confused about whether they are buying sweet potatoes or yams. Yams have dark, rough skin and white flesh inside. You don’t want those! Sweet potatoes have reddish skin that’s mostly smooth, and the flesh inside is orange.
- Olive Oil – I use olive oil for roasting vegetables, and it works well. I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil from California Olive Ranch. Feel free to use any brand of olive oil that works best for your dietary needs.
- Spices – Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper, add flavor to these fries.
Step by Step Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into fries that are about one centimeter thick.
- Toss the fries with the olive oil and the seasonings. Spread them out on two baking sheets.
- Bake at 450 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Enjoy!

Thank you for your recipes! I’m a new mom to an infant with newly diagnosed food allergies and I was so happy and excited to see this site! It was such a relief and encouragement to me after a couple disheartening weeks of subsisting on lettuce, chicken, and rice.
