I am NOT a fan of sweet potatoes, and that means a big fat NO to baked sweet potato fries too.  My mind has classified them as Do Not Eat.

What is a Do Eat are these Baked Garlic French Fries!

That is, until a good friend and lifestyle blogger extraordinaire, shared her take on baked sweet potato fries.  I was still hesitant after reading her recipe post because sweet potatoes are gross, ehrmiright?

I guess the reasoning behind the disgust in sweet potatoes comes down to a mind game.  My mind sees and thinks potato, my mouth reads sweetness, and then my mind freaks out…’now what they hell is going on?!? ‘

So I was stepping out on a limb and trying something that I knew I didn’t like (because I know that they are much better for you than other potatoes) was a struggle.

And there you have it folks…the struggle IS real.

I tried 2 Cats & Chloe’s sweet potato recipe and then tweaked it and then tweaked it again, making my own version of a crispy and flavorful side dish treat that I LOVE!

So did the dinner guests we had when I tried this recipe for the first time.  And so does Hubby.  Sometimes I am balls-y.  You’ll love ’em too!

Baked Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries

Yield: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

These baked parmesan sweet potato fries are amazingly easy to make with simple ingredients. The hints of savory garlic and parmesan blend perfectly with the sweetness of the sweet potato pieces!

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into spears
  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 TBSP parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F, and then lay the sweet potato slices on a large baking pan.
  2. Sprinkle the olive oil on the potatoes and spread (I use this silicone basting brush to "paint on the oil").
  3. Sprinkle the garlic salt and minced garlic on the fries with the same brush and technique.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the baking process. (If you want a crisper fry, broil for a few extra minutes before taking the fries out of the oven)
  5. Immediately sprinkle the parmesan and parsley on top of the fries.

I used the Pampered Chef Crinkle Cutter to easily cut my potato spears.  Sweet potatoes aren’t the easiest things to cut (dang they’re hard!) so at least use a sharp knife and watch out for those fingers y’all!

Baked Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries recipe

These little guys tend to shrink up a bit.  So my baking pan was consumed by orange sticks before placing the potatoes in the oven.  Once they were cooked, the potatoes size was cut in half.

Just giving you an idea if you are planning on feeding large groups of people (Oh hey backyard BBQ season…it’s nice to see ya again!).

Depending on your oven these little guys may still be slightly soft after baking unless you broil them at the end.

I don’t like mushy soft fries, so that made me nervous the first time I tried these.

I like mine almost to the point of burnt and very crispy.  But it’s a simple fix with the broiler y’all!

What’s your favorite way to eat sweet potatoes?  I’m all about trying new savory sweet potato recipes!

    Your fries look super delish, healthy and easy. The parm adds a really nice depth.

    Yum. Sweet potatoes here are like rediculously hard to find! These remind me of some I use to eat in LA.

      Oh I bet that they are really hard to find in your neck of the woods. Hope fully it can remind you of home. I am sure there are many things that are from the US that you can’t find there!

    I love sweet potato. They sell the frozen fries over here in Australia but at times they taste weird. I should try from scratch. I so want that cutter!

      I’ve tried the frozen variety too and I am not a fan (that’s putting it nicely). These taste like a completely different species. I love this cutter too. My mother gave it to me and I kind of forgot about it until recently. Now I am cutting all my veggies with it. Slightly obsessed at the moment! 🙂

      Thanks for stopping in dear! I just love the Learn To Blog community. Building bloggers up and not tearing them down, so great! And yes, crispy fries for the win. I hate eating soggy or mushy fries. Yuck!

    These look great! The tricky part for me is getting the potatoes to be crispy. I will try your final minutes of broiling suggestion! Thanks.

      Yes, try the broiling. I was having the same troubles (and I don’t like mushy fries one bit) getting them to crisp up…then I tried the broiler and it was perfect! Let me know if you decide to try them with the broiler. I’d love to hear what you think 🙂

    Oh, I love sweet potato fries, but I never thought of adding Parmesan to them. Sounds yummy!

      Oh the parmesan is so good with the garlic and parsley. It really makes the dish a little sweet and a little salty 🙂
