Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe | No More Soggy Fries (ASMR)

Make sweet potato fries that are actually crispy, not soggy! In this video, I show you the secret "Cornstarch Hack" that guarantees a crunchy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior every single time. Most homemade fries turn out limp, but this simple technique changes everything. Watch the satisfying tossing process and listen to the incredible "scratch test" that proves the crunch. This is the perfect healthy side dish for burgers or snacking. Put on your headphones for the crunchy ASMR experience! 🛒 Ingredients • 2 Large Sweet Potatoes (The orange interior kind, often called Yams in the US) • 2 tbsp Cornstarch (The secret ingredient for crunch!) • 2 tbsp Olive Oil or Avocado Oil • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika (adds a BBQ flavor) • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt (Add AFTER cooking!) • Black Pepper to taste 🔪 Steps 1. *The Cut (ASMR Focus):* Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into even 1/4 inch matchsticks. Listen to the knife slicing through the dense vegetable. • Tip: Try to keep them all the same size so they cook evenly! 2. *The Coat:* Place the raw fries in a large Ziploc bag or bowl. Add the Cornstarch. Toss vigorously until every fry has a light white dusting. • Visual: This powder absorbs the moisture and creates the crust. 3. *The Oil:* Add the oil and spices (except salt!) to the bag. Toss again until coated and orange. 4. *The Bake:* • Oven: Spread on a baking sheet (do not touch/overlap!). Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway. • Air Fryer: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. 5. *The Salt:* Remove from the heat and IMMEDIATELY sprinkle with sea salt. 6. *The Scratch (Hero Moment):* Take a hot fry and scrape a fork against it. Listen to the rough, crispy sound. 7. *The Dip:* Dip into spicy mayo or ketchup and take a bite. 🌿 Health Benefits • *Vitamin A Powerhouse:* Sweet potatoes are incredibly rich in Vitamin A (beta carotene), supporting eye health and immune function. • *Lower Glycemic Index:* They release sugar into the blood more slowly than white potatoes, preventing massive insulin spikes. • *Baked Not Fried:* By using the oven or air fryer, you use 80% less oil than deep-fried restaurant fries, saving huge amounts of calories. #SweetPotatoFries #CrispyFries #AirFryerRecipes #HealthySideDish #CornstarchHack #ASMRCooking #CrunchyASMR #VeganRecipes #Fries
