⏰ Prep & Cook Time: 35 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 4

Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes
1 tsp dried oregano (or thyme)
Salt, freshly ground black pepper
2–3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F) or 200°C (390°F) with fan.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into sticks like fries.
Place in a bowl, season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sprinkle the oregano (or thyme).
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato sticks out in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for maximum crispness; if packed too tight, they’ll steam and get softer.
Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes until tender and lightly browned in spots.

🍽️ Serving Suggestion

Serve these simple sweet potato fries as a side with grilled meats, dipped in your favorite sauce, or tossed in a fresh salad for a lighter meal. They’re delicious hot out of the oven or even at room temperature.
