Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • sea salt (for topping)
  • ketchup (for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the sweet potato into ¼-inch wide long strips. You can leave skins or or remove, either works. Add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Soak in water for 10 to 15 minutes or until the water has turned murky. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Add the melted coconut oil, pumpkin spice, parsley, paprika, and white pepper. Mix together with your hands to coat the sweet potatoes in the oil and spices completely.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the sweet potatoes to the baking sheet and spread them out evenly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then stir and flip fries to ensure even baking. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are soft, but crispy. (You can use your air fryer or the regular oven!).
  • Salt the pumpkin spice French fries after coming out of the oven!

Notes

Tips
  • While I prefer sweet potatoes, you could also make these with Russet potatoes if you like!
  • Avocado oil or EVOO also work if you don't have coconut oil.
  • You can soak the sweet potatoes in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes (until the water turns murky) beforehand if you have time. This can help you get crispier fries! But, I find these are just fine without this step too.
  • Don't salt the sweet potatoes before baking as salt can draw out moisture. So, always salt these pumpkin spice French fries after baking!
  • You can make these in your air fryer if you prefer!
