I don’t own an air fryer. Although, I would love to have one (hint! for anyone who wants to buy me a gift hehe). Nor do I own a deep fryer as I am too intimated to use one. It is not necessarily something I would use regularly and deep-fried foods are also not particularly too good for you too. So I have been working on recipes to get a fried effect without a deep fryer or air fryer. To keep things simple as well, I am using ingredients that you can easily access from your local grocery shop.
These sweet potato fries are baked not fried! And they achieve the crunchiness and crispiness of fried fries.

- 6 sweet potatoes peeled
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup sunflower oil or olive oil
- Desired additional seasoning such as paprika or parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 200ºC.
- Cut sweet potatoes into long, fries shape. Throw sweet potatoes into a bowl with the black pepper, salt, cornstarch, oil, and any other additional seasoning you wish and mix thoroughly.
- Place sweet potatoes on a tray and cook in oven for 40 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy looking.
- Chill for about 10 mins before serving. Serve with your desired dip. I love having sweet potato fries with ketchup and mayo mixed together!
