# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 large sweet potatoes

→ Seasonings

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
07 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish (optional)

08 - Fresh parsley, finely chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Set oven to 220°C to ensure optimal crisping of the fries.
02 - Wash, peel, and cut sweet potatoes into uniform fries approximately 6 mm thick.
03 - In a large bowl, blend olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.
04 - Add sweet potato fries to the seasoning mixture, tossing thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
05 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Distribute fries in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
06 - Place sheet in preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping fries halfway for even browning.
07 - Assess fries for crispness; bake longer if necessary. Finished fries should be golden and crisp on the outside, tender within.
08 - Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the fries before serving. Serve hot with preferred dipping sauce.

# Notes:

01 - Uniformly cutting fries promotes even cooking and optimal texture.
02 - Avoid crowding the baking sheet; fries crisp best with space between each piece.
03 - Monitor baking time closely, as oven performance and fry thickness can impact results.
