Don't crowd the tray — space between the fries is the secret to crispiness.
Frequently asked questions
Why aren't they crispy?
Three common reasons: overcrowded tray, oven not hot enough, or fries not dried. Pat them dry before seasoning.
Are sweet potatoes healthier than regular?
They have far more vitamin A and slightly more fibre. Both are healthy in different ways.
Do they work in an air fryer?
Perfectly! 200°C for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway.
