Tips & Tricks
For extra crispiness, soak the sweet potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking.
Ensure the fries are spread out in a single layer to avoid steaming and promote even crisping.
Adjust the spice levels by adding more or less red chili powder and peri peri powder based on your preference.
