How To Make oven-baked sweet potato fries

• Step 1
  Add all the ingredients together for the dipping sauce, and reserve.
• 
  Step 2
  Grate the Parmesan cheese and reserve.
• 
  Step 3
  Peel the sweet potato.
• 
  Step 4
  Chef’s Note: I like to peel my potatoes when I make fries; however, if you like the skin, you don’t have to peel.
• 
  Step 5
  Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 450f (230c).
• 
  Step 6
  Cut the potato into 1/4-inch matchsticks.
• 
  Step 7
  Add the salt, pepper, and olive oil to a large bowl, add the potatoes, and toss until they are thoroughly coated.
• 
  Step 8
  Chef’s Tip: At this point get creative… For example, I add a bit of cumin and cayenne to the mix. What kind of spices do you like?
• 
  Step 9
  Chef’s Note: Before adding the potatoes, make sure that they are completely dry. If they are damp, the olive oil and spices will not stick properly, and you’ll wind up with soggy fries.
• 
  Step 10
  Place the fries on a baking sheet using a cooling rack to raise them off the baking sheet.
• 
  Step 11
  Chef’s Note: The cooling rack is not necessary; however, it helps in the crisping of the fries.
• 
  Step 12
  Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until crispy, and beginning to brown.
• Step 13
  Remove from the oven, and then toss in the parmesan cheese.
• 
  Step 14
  Serve hot with the dipping sauce… Enjoy.
• 
  Step 15
  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
