4. Spread them out on a baking sheet (make sure they’re not stacked).
5. Bake until crispy. Full instructions are below!

📖 Are Sweet Potato Fries Healthier Than Regular Fries?

Yes! While both sweet and regular potatoes have nutritional benefits, sweet potatoes are higher in fiber and vitamins. Plus, if you bake your fries instead of frying them, both types can be made much healthier!

🥗 What to Serve with Sweet Potato Fries
