Citrus Free Paleo Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potatoes hit different when they're roasted at high heat — caramelized edges, tender centers, and a smoky, garlicky coating that makes them nearly impossible to stop eating. These fries are seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a whisper of cayenne, so every bite has real depth without relying on any citrus-based marinades or acidic brighteners that can sneak into so many spice blends and sauces. Avocado oil is the fat of choice here, which handles the high roasting temperature beautifully and keeps everything firmly in paleo territory. The trick of preheating the sheet pan before the fries ever touch it is a small step that makes a big difference — you get that satisfying crisp on the bottom instead of a soggy, steamed result. Cutting the sticks to a uniform size and giving each one breathing room on the pan means even browning all the way through. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and a clean, herby finish. These are the kind of fries you make once and then find yourself making every single week.
