Want to know the secret to making extra crispy sweet potato fries?

Here goes.

It’s all in the cooking time and amount of oil.

Bake those babies long and slow with not too much and not too little extra virgin olive oil.

Turn them halfway through to spread the crispness around to everyone.

And then watch them bake and turn into beautiful brown munchies.

Dipping these fries in some of that sauce never hurts either 😉

*Pro tip: baking sweet potato fries is mounds easier using this Di Oro Living baking mat, which makes for crispy fry heaven and easy clean up.

And what’s better than crispy sweet potato fries with ranch dipping sauce? It’s crispy sweet potato fries with ranch dipping sauce and no clean up!!

This baking mat also serves as the zero-clean-up part of the recipe, which, I’m a fan.

love that lime and garlic!

The loads of lime and garlic melting into these fries is unreal. The zesty pop from the lime is a beautiful compliment to the sweetness of the sweet potato and spice of garlic.

I was making these fries with my sister, and I kept asking her to taste test to see if they needed anything, her one answer- garlic, garlic, more garlic! Well, okay… but we want to taste the lime too. 🙂

This sauce!! Creamy herby white sauce… also known as my favorite homemade dairy free ranch dressing! I make this recipe for the fam quite frequently and it’s always a hit.

Plus, it’s the perfect side for dipping your crispy fries in. Since I’ve been making these fries on repeat (especially this week!!) a special sauce is definitely called for.

    So is that 3 tbsp of olive oil initially…bake for 20 min. then add 2 more tbsp of oil? Or is that tossing with all 5 tbsp of olive oil and then adding two more tablespoons? Just want to make sure I read that right. 😉 I could eat sweet potato fries daily! The white sweet potatoes are the best and I usually bake mine in a little duck fat. 🙂 Can’t wait to try these!

    They sound wonderful. Must try them. Have to say I think your instructions are so straight forward that I can’t understand why people ask questions about things that are perfectly clearly written in black and white – or grey and white.

    In ingredient list you mince garlic and zest lime, then in directions you say to remove whole garlic and lime slices…what am I missing here? Which way do you make it? Thanks!

    Agree with Maryl above – the directions are NOT very clear about when to add the whole garlic and lime slices, or what you do with the lemon juice? Is that part of the “seasonings?” The directions actually say the cloves and lime slices are “garnish,” which would not typically mean added during cooking. I’d love a more clearly written recipe!

    90 min turned out way too long. They weren’t crispy. They burnt. And I was so looking forward to this recipe. 🙁 I am yet to find a recipe with crispy sweet potato fries.

    This looks awesome! I am going to try it asap, and I may even get my husband to eat sweet potatoes with this recipe, He is a garlic fanatic. It’s even in the dipping sauce! Beautiful photography!

    Do you think you would be able to make a lot a save for future days? I meal prep on Sundays, so wondering if I could only make these for one night of dinner or if I can make enough for a few days? What do you think?

    Made these last night….there must be something missing from the page because I don’t see any instructions about the whole garlic or lime slices (other than in your pictures and from other commenters). Also, nowhere does it say anything about cooking them for 90 minutes or tossing the oil in at two different times throughout the baking process (again, other than reading other peoples comments. Very disappointed that they weren’t crispy (despite cooking for 70 minutes and putting under the broiler at the end). The ranch sauce was amazing though. Made it with regular mayo instead of paleo and it was a huge hit! I’ll try to make the fries again with a 90 minute cook time and tossing in oil 2 separate times….fingers crossed and thanks for the great ideas!

    So, so good! Much easier than I thought they’d be also. From some of the comments I read I thought I’d have to watch them like a hawk when they were cooking. Some said they cooked too quickly, some said they took forever to get done. Mine were perfect cooking according to the recipe. I will definitely make them for a party some time.

    I have made these at least a dozen times now….slightly addicted! I’ve found mine take between 1-1/2 to 2 hours to crisp up, depending on the cut. They even reheat well the next day! So good…worth the time if you have it.

    I have made these several times now and they have been amazing every time, although I cannot get mine to crisp up perfectly (still working on this). The flavor is outrageous!!! I topped mine with carnitas and it was heavenly!! Thanks for the great recipe!!

    I’m looking forward to try this recipe. It might be another way to try enjoy sweet potatoes. I used to only enjoy them as pudding, until I decided to try them mashed with cheese … That did it, my girls liked it… bingo! Soon there were variations… But as a garlic fan and like the tanginess of lines your recipe sounds mouthwatering

    For those who can’t get their fries crispy, it is possible you’re using the orange sweet potatoes and not the white. The white ones have a milder flavor and less water.

    This was seriously one of the BEST recipes I’ve had while on whole 3O! It is amazing!!! I didn’t make my fries one layer so they weren’t as crispy as I would have liked but the flavor is YUMMY!!! This is one I will make again and again! Thank you!

    What can I use instead of tapioca flour? I have almond flour & coconut flour in my pantry right now. I was hoping to make these tonight with a substitute until I can get the tapioca flour?

    Decided to take my health journey serious this time around and I made these today and they were amazing! I think I’ll making these at least once per week. Love them!

    The recipe I’m reading says to cook for only 20 minutes. I’m not getting the whole recipe I don’t think. It doesn’t say anything about tossing them first and then baking. I’m confused.😩

    I like my fries REALLY crispy, so I stole a technique I learned to make extra crispy roasted potatoes, and then simplified it. Teh roasted potato recipe has you parboal the potatoes for a few minutes until they just begin to soften on the outside. After drainign them, you shake. thepot the rough them up a little bit; that allows them to grab ahold of the oil better and crisp up. For these sweet potato fries, I microwaved them for 4 minutes with a little bit of water to steam them. Then I drained them and shook them before adding the seasonings and placing in the oven.

    These fries were AMAZING!!! My family LOVED them!! I would make these every single day! I have a french fry cutter so they were uniform size and therefore cooked evenly. Followed the recipe to the letter and they turned out perfect! Thanks so much for sharing!
