Sweet potatoes roasted at high heat with avocado oil and smoked paprika are genuinely one of the most satisfying things you can pull out of your oven. The trick here is preheating the sheet pan so the fries hit a hot surface the moment they go in — that's what gives you crispy, caramelized edges instead of a soggy, steamed mess. Smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne build a bold, smoky spice blend that makes these taste far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Every component is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, subbing, or label-checking required — just real, whole ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Cutting the sticks to a uniform quarter-inch thickness is worth the extra minute of prep, since even sizing means every fry finishes cooking at the same time. 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 from the oven while the edges are still crisp and the centers are tender — these don't wait around.

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.
