Taiwanese Sweet Potato Fries (Dairy-Free, Nut-Free)

Ingredients

• 2 large Sweet potatoes
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Five-spice powder

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C).
2. 2Peel the 2 large sweet potatoes. Carefully cut each sweet potato lengthwise into strips that are approximately 1.27 cm thick.
3. 3In a large bowl, combine the cut sweet potato fries with the 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp five-spice powder. Toss everything together gently until all the fries are evenly coated.
4. 4Arrange the coated sweet potato fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other too much. This spacing helps them become crispy during baking.
5. 5Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. After 10 to 12 minutes (halfway through the baking time), carefully use tongs or a spatula to flip each fry over. The fries are done when they are golden brown and feel crispy on the outside.
6. 6Serve the Taiwanese sweet potato fries immediately while they are hot.
