For extra crispy fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before tossing with the seasonings. Pat them dry thoroughly before baking. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, start with 1/8 teaspoon. Don't overcrowd the baking sheets. If necessary, bake the fries in batches to ensure even cooking and maximum crispness. For best results, use a high-quality taco seasoning mix with a balanced flavor profile. These fries are best served immediately after baking. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.

Mar 31, 2024These fries are amazing! My kids, who usually turn up their noses at sweet potatoes, devoured them.

Mar 9, 2024The trick to getting them crispy is definitely not overcrowding the pan. I tried doing them all on one pan and they steamed a bit. Baking in batches is the way to go!

Jul 19, 2022I love the spicy kick from the cayenne pepper. I added a little bit of smoked paprika to the seasoning mix for an extra layer of flavor.
