- 1 tablespoon granuated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spray two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

- Divide the fries among the two prepared baking sheets and arrange them in even layers.
- Bake the fries for 15 minutes, carefully flip or toss with a spatula, and bake for 10 to 15 more minutes until crispy. Cool slightly and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
- Leftover sweet potato fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- Reheat the fries in the oven for the crispiest texture or reheat them in the microwave.
