Ingredients

  

• 4 sweet potatoes
• 3 tbsp Avocado Oil
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• sprinkle ground black pepper
• sprinkle sea salt
• sprinkle parmesan grated cheese

Instructions

 

• Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut into even strips about 1/2–3/4 inch thick for fries.
• Soak the Sweet Potatoes (Optional for Crispier Fries): Place the cut sweet potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let soak for 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
• Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the dried sweet potato strips with avocado oil. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, parmesan cheese, sea salt and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
• Cook the Fries: Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
• Serve: Transfer the hot sweet potato steak fries to a serving plate. Serve immediately with your favorite dip on the side.

Notes

Air Fryer Directions:

You can make sweet potato steak fries in the air fryer by following the same steps above  for a crispy, healthier alternative to oven-baking.

• Arrange the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
• Cook for 15–20 minutes at 375°F, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and golden.
