Baked Sweet Potato Fries (No Oil)

Craving fries doesn't have to mean reaching for the deep fryer. These sweet potato sticks get their color and crunch entirely from a hot oven, with paprika and garlic powder standing in for the salt and grease of the classic version.

Because there's no added oil in this recipe, it's a straightforward pick for anyone keeping an eye on saturated fat while still working toward a heart-healthy plate. Sweet potatoes bring natural sweetness and fiber, so a light seasoning is really all they need.

Flip them halfway through baking so both sides get that golden, slightly crisp edge, and serve hot alongside a protein of your choice.
