You will need:

• sweet potatoes
• avocado or coconut oil
• tapioca flour
• onion powder
• salt
• sharp knife, preferably a chef’s knife-I LOVE this knife, but be extremely careful as it is super sharp the first month! It has a forever warranty which is better than a lifetime warranty, it means you can pass these knives on to your kids. Love these!
• 2 mixing bowls
• parchment paper for baking sheets
• 2 baking sheets, I love using 2 Baker’s Half Sheets so they have enough room to get crispy

First, wash and peel your sweet potatoes. Next, you will cut the ends off of your sweet potatoes so they are easier to slice. Stand them up and cut them into slices 1/4 inch thick and then into match stick pieces.

It will be tricky to cut them since sweet potatoes are very thick. I find it easier to use a sharp heavy chef’s knife. Just know that they do not have to be perfect!

Next, drizzle avocado oil or melted unrefined coconut oil over your sweet potatoes. Then, in another bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour, onion powder and salt.

Toss the oiled sweet potatoes into the tapioca mixture until they are fully coated.

Grease your pan with oil and spread out your sweet potato fries throughout. Be sure to create space between the fries.

I used 2 Baker’s half sheetslined with parchment paper. I absolutely love the size of these! They fill up the whole oven! I bake veggies and chicken in them every week!

Place in a preheated 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. My bottom tray was ready in 15 minutes and my top tray was ready in 20 minutes.

Place your crispy oven baked sweet potatoes on a plate lined with paper towels or parchment paper and serve hot. These are sweet, crispy and the perfect appetizer!
