Sweet potatoes are one of the most celebrated anti-inflammatory foods around, packed with beta-carotene and antioxidants that make them a genuinely smart choice — not just a trendy one. Avocado oil keeps things clean and compliant, bringing healthy monounsaturated fats to the party instead of the refined seed oils that can quietly work against your goals. The smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a hit of cayenne give these fries serious depth and a gentle kick, so you're never sitting there wishing you'd just ordered takeout. The trick of preheating the sheet pan is what separates truly crispy fries from a sad, soggy pile — that blast of heat on contact starts the browning process immediately and makes all the difference. Everything here is whole-food, single-ingredient, and straightforward, which means no hidden additives or inflammatory fillers sneaking into your snack. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a bright, herby finish that makes the whole plate look as good as it tastes. These are the kind of fries you make once and then find yourself craving on repeat.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large sheet pan in the oven while it preheats — a hot pan helps the fries crisp on the bottom rather than steam.
Cut the peeled sweet potatoes into sticks about 1/4-inch thick and 3 inches long, keeping the pieces as uniform as possible so they cook evenly.
