28 Reviews of Baked Sweet Potato Fries

by Mirj

These were fine from the point of view of flavor - they're sweet potatoes cut in wedges and baked. If you like sweet potatoes, you like them; if you don't, you don't. While there is some difference in texture between these and baked whole sweet potatoes, I didn't feel it was great enough to go to the trouble of cutting up the potatoes and brushing each piece with butter.

    A local restaurant makes the best sweet potato fries here, so I wanted to make my own - but without frying. Thank you for an easy/tasty alternative! They really hit the spot on our first chilly autumn day of the year

    Yummy! I tossed the sweet potato pieces with olive oil and the seasonings. I didn't measure on the seasonings, but used a lot more than Mirj called for. They ended up a bit too salty for me, but otherwise yummy, so next time I'd probably cut the seasoned salt and use a little garlic and/or onion powder for flavor without all the salt. I used a little freshly ground pepper too, which worked well with them. This one goes in the "tried and true" file. Thanks!

    oooo, these were a treat! found a sweet potato at the last minute while preparing a haphazard dinner-for-one. I used just one sm/med sweet potato (cut more into strips than wedges), just a teensy bit of butter (maybe 1 teaspoon?), a little pinch of nutmeg. served with a grilled italian sausage link and some steamed broccoli. All of a sudden, I had a proper meal!

    I love sweet potato fries and make them often. I've been trying to come up with a 'spiced' version similar to a local restaurant. I didn't feel the spices were strong enough though so next time I'd at least double them. Thanks for another great recipe, Mirj!

    I really enjoyed this recipe- the season salt and nutmeg was the flavor combination I've been looking for in a sweet potato "fry." I shook everything up in a baggie, because I'm too lazy to brush anything. I baked them 20 at 400, flipped them, and another 20 at 400. I think they could have used a little longer (but dinner was READY!), so next time I'll up the heat. Thanks for posting!

    Yum! I realized I had no nutmeg right before making these, so I decided to use a touch of cinnimon instead. It was sooooo goooood! I loved it. Thank you!

    The recipe was pretty easy, which was good for me. I'm a beginer. I was expecting the fries to come out more crunchy or seasoned, though. In all, I liked them, but nothing special.

    Tasted good. Easy to prepare. Didn't thrill the kids, and it looked "weird". I'd rather have a real potato french fry. Thanks anyway

    Very good! but we would have like them crispy, they were quite soft but had great flavour. Next time I make them i think I will lower the oven temperature and cook them longer so they might get crisp. The high temp caused them to look lovely on top but when turned over they were quite black although they didn't taste burned. I used one huge yam witch cut up into 20 chips. We like them a lot and I will make them again, thanks for posting.
