How To Make Crispy Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries:
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 sheets lined 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!

These fries were so delicious! They were a little onion-y for my taste, so I think next time I’ll half the onion powder but otherwise perfect. Thanks for the recipe!

★★★★

These were soooo delicious! I baked for 20 minutes then broiled for 5. Turned out perfect. I also added a sprinkle of paprika!

HI Kaelie,
So glad you loved them! What a great idea to broil them! It must have added an extra crisp to the edges! Thanks for sharing your great tips! Xoxo, Ester
Can I use Almond flour instead of tapioca?
I would suggest coconut flour. I use almond flour for breading chicken nuggets or fried zucchini, not sure how it would turn out in this recipe, it may be great! Let us know if you decide to use it. Xoxo, Ester
