Baked Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries

Potato fries are known to be one of the most preferred side dish worldwide. Use sweet potatoes and bake them instead of frying for a dish that is definitely healthier, full of nutrients and guilty free. For me these Baked Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries are one of the best way to accustom kids with sweet potatoes.

One of the most important steps to good and crispy sweet potato fries is to cut them evenly into ¼ inch sticks as much as possible. If you cut them too thick they might not turn crispy at all. Also, using a coating of cornstarch really helps to get extra crispy fries, as the starch absorb the moisture and help create a crispy crust while the interior remain soft and tender.

Serve the sweet potato fries with extra Parmesan on top and your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
