Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients:

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil (plus a little more for brushing the parchment paper)
• 1 egg white (optional, but creates crispiness!)
• Sea salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• Garlic powder to taste

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 450.

IMPORTANT: Put baking sheet in the oven to heat up by itself for 5-10 minutes! This is a necessary step in getting them crispy.

Cut sweet potatoes into thin sticks. Whisk together egg white, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl. Put sliced potatoes in the bowl and coat well with the mixture.

Brush a piece of parchment paper (large enough to cover baking sheet) with olive oil. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can use tin foil, but parchment paper gets them crispier!! Line up potato slices on parchment paper – DO NOT let them touch! Another important element in the crispiness.

Put the parchment paper on top of the already-hot baking sheet. Bake for 10 mins and then flip the fries over with a spatula and bake for another 10 minutes (or until desired crispiness is attained).
