Homemade Seasoned Sweet Potato Fries
Homemade Seasoned Sweet Potato Fries are easier than you might think and much better for you, too. Even if sweet potatoes aren’t your thing, this recipe is just as delicious as using russet potatoes.
The first time I made these seasoned fries, my family ate the entire pan…even the cold ones. The recipe called for regular baking potatoes, but since my daughter is a big sweet potato fan, I made half of them with sweet potatoes. Talk about a huge success!!

These homemade fries are quick to prepare, and the ingredients are probably already in the cupboard.
To Make Seasoned Sweet Potato Fries, You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Sweet potatoes or baked potatoes
- Olive oil
- Grated Parmesan Cheese ~ vegans omit or use a non-dairy parmesan
- Garlic powder ~ Low FODMAP Garlic Replacer if needed
- Paprika
- Black pepper
- Salt (I use 1/2 tsp)
The finished potatoes should be tender on the inside and as crispy as you like on the outside. Serve with any meal or even as a healthy snack. We like to combine these homemade fries with Tilapia and a side salad.
Homemade fries can be cut into thin strips or larger, like steak fries.
I dip my sweet potato fries in ketchup, but some folks prefer 1000 Island or Ranch.
Here is a low-sugar ketchup recipe you might be interested in trying.
