I LOVE sweet potato fries. I like to make them with fresh rosemary or even plain. These look amazing! Great side or snack!
They look great. I generally use kosher salt and chili powder on mine so they aren’t too sweet. And they definitely need to be more on the crunchy side for me. No soggy fries for this girl.
Love sweet potato fries! We seriously eat them a few times a week! 🙂
Lovely fries and cute kid!
Cheers,
Rosa
I love sweet potato fries! In my opinion, sweet potatoes are far superior to regular potatoes!
I actually have my students make oven fries with sweet potatoes and russets. They are endlessly amazed at how delicious and nutritious these are. Thank you for sharing your flavour ideas so I can now share them with my students.

Victoria, I know you can make these!!! I promise.
i love this recipe. can’t wait to try it on my 16 month old.
thank you.
can’t wait to taste the sweet basil and garlic olive oil.
thank you 🙂
Sweet potato fries are my fav! I like them more than regular fries! I usually put cajun seasoning all over mine… YUM 🙂
My kids love baked sweet potato fries, and would pick them over regular potatoes in a heartbeat. A nice, crispier variation is slicing them on my mandoline and making a baked sweet potato chip. 🙂
I adore sweet potato fries..and I honestly think the baked version is superior…chewy in the inside, slightly crispy outside. And who wants regular fries after this?
Great looking pictures. I like sweet potato fries, sweet yet they can salty and spicy too!
I know how good Sweet Potatoes are for you and I don’t make any fried food, but I’ve never made these! I don’t know why!!
i usually request a side other than regular french fries whenever i’m eating out, but i’m always in the mood for sweet potato fries. gimme some cinnamon butter as a dip and i’m good to go–no entree or dessert required. 🙂
Sweet potato fries are HUGE favorites around here. Especially baked. These look awesome and I love all of your topping ideas.
Seriously, why have regular potatoes when you can have sweet ones. Once you go orange…you never go back.
Oh I love sweet potato fries! Is that rosemary I see on them? One of my favorite spices for roasted veggies 🙂
Mmmmm, I love baked sweet potato fries and these look great!
Ahhh! I love sweet potato fries! So delicious! I love them with cinnamon, sea salt, garlic powder…and some rosemary! Delicious! Great recipe — I’ve been wondering about the temperature 🙂
Mhm! We love sweet potatoes and sweet potato fries in particular!
I love sweet potatoes! Sweet potato fries are a go-to quick yummy carb I make for dinners often. I love the addition of herb oil here.
very crunchy fries
Your sweet potato fries look like the perfect addition to any dinner, Marla! My mom makes sweet potato fries with cinnamon and a little nutmeg…I’m going to share your version with her since I think she’d love them too! 🙂
sweet potaotes fries…yes they are wonderful..we love them..cutie pie ya got there
sweetlife
I LOVE sweet potatoes! And your fries look amazing. 😀
Yum. My kids are huge sweet potato fry fans. I typically use either a mix of chili powder and cumin … or I go sweet with some brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Sometimes I use the frozen sweet potato fries as a healthier alternative to frozen French fries.
I tried to make some Sweet potato fries the other night (baked) – and they turned into soggy mush. Are these “crispy”? My last batch we had to eat with forks, you couldn’t even pick them up like fries.
thanks in advance for any help….

They do tend to be mushier than regular fries….but the taste is so much more dynamic. Sometimes you need to give them a little “nudge” in the right direction. When they are nicely browned on all sides from baking, after the 40 minutes or so….you can turn your broiler on low and cook them under there a few more minutes. Just be sure to watch your fries very carefully so they do not burn! Toss with tongs frequently.
I just love sweet potato fries! I don’t mind that they don’t get as crispy as a ‘real’ fry. With a little bit of olive oil and some seasoning they take on a personality all their own.
i love sweet potato fries! haven’t ever added rosemary to them, though…sounds yummy!
my mom loves fried sweet potato. I’ll make her some of these.it’s a healthier alternative..
This is fantastic! I’ve been looking for a healthy recipe for sweet potato fries! Thanks!
These look perfect! I always end up getting soggy sweet potato fries but I never toss them every 10 minutes, ususally just once…maybe that’s the problem!
Marla, great job on your recipe index. I like lots of
categories too. Also like this recipe. Will be adding a link to a
post I’m doing on meatloaf this weekend. Thanks!
Sally: Thanks! Feel like I could always add more recipe categories as the list grows. Looking forward to seeing your meatloaf post.
These are my go to “healthy” snack. I’ve gotten all of my friends addicted.
Hi Brigette! That is such great news…I am so happy you & your pals are loving these fries 🙂
I made these the other night for dinner and they are amazing. I mixed them all in a baggie, I added the oil, sage, rosemary, garden vegetable mix and cinnamon. I love cinnamon and it gave them such a boost of flavor. I am making them this Friday for my mom, we are doing a baking day for my nephw’s bday party on sat. I may use some of your cookie recipes 🙂
Thanks so much for these!!
OMG! I must be a pig, because I can’t eat just 1/2 cup of sweet potato fries!!!
My son loves sweet potato fries. I love that the sweet potatoes contain vitamins and minerals.
I make sweet potato fries like this all the time, I like to cover mine in garlic, thyme, and a bit of cracked pepper
Very Delicious sweet potato !
