Perfectly crisp baked sweet potato fries! After many failed attempts, we found a technique that works wonders! Do us both a favor and don’t substitute foil for parchment paper. We made that mistake once already and ended poorly  — our fries looked more like mashed sweet potatoes than fries! These are simple to make and so delicious! Try different spice combinations for different flavors, or just salt for something basic!
