Cinnamon Free Paleo Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries are one of those sides that feel indulgent but are actually built on nothing but whole, clean ingredients — and this version absolutely delivers. Smoked paprika and garlic powder do the heavy lifting here, giving every fry a deep, savory warmth without a trace of cinnamon or any of the sweet spice blends that so often sneak into sweet potato recipes. That matters more than you'd think, because pre-seasoned frozen fries and restaurant versions almost always lean into warming spices that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding cinnamon. The trick to getting that satisfying crisp is preheating the sheet pan before the fries ever touch it — it jumpstarts browning on contact instead of letting the potatoes steam and go limp. Avocado oil handles the high oven heat beautifully and keeps everything paleo-friendly from start to finish. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little color and brightness that makes the whole plate look as good as it tastes. Serve them straight off the pan while they're hot and the edges are still crackling.
