👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 425°F

AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
2

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with cornstarch until evenly coated. This helps to make them crispy.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Ensure all sweet potato pieces are coated.
3

Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
4

Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded.

AI Wisdom: Overcrowding will result in steaming instead of crisping.
5

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are crispy and golden brown.

⏱️ 30 min (ish) 🌡️ 425°F

AI Wisdom: Flip the fries gently to avoid breaking them.
6

Serve the sweet potato fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

AI Wisdom: Enjoy the crispy exterior and fluffy interior of the fries.
