Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon-Spiced Sweet Potato Fries.
Step 1
Start by preparing your sweet potato. Peel it and cut it into thick sticks, making sure they’re all about the same size for even cooking. Next, grab a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and combine 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Seal the bag and give it a good shake to mix everything together. Now, add your sweet potato sticks to the bag, seal it again, and give it a gentle turn to coat the potatoes evenly with that sweet, spiced mixture.
Step 2
In a deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it to 375°F (190°C). Once the oil is hot, carefully add the sweet potato sticks. Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 10 minutes. Once they’re done, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil, and then transfer them to a serving plate.
Step 3
For the finishing touch, take the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, and the butter. Place them in a small pan over medium heat. Stir gently until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined. Drizzle this warm, spiced butter over your crispy sweet potato fries and get ready to enjoy!
How to Serve
Serve these sweet potato fries warm, drizzled with the spiced butter, and enjoy them as a delightful snack or side dish. They pair wonderfully with a dipping sauce like ranch or a sweet yogurt dip for an extra treat!
How to Store
Store any leftover sweet potato fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness.
