Crispy, smoky, and just a little sweet, these oven-roasted fries hit every craving without a single ingredient that tends to trigger esophageal flares. Managing eosinophilic esophagitis often means cutting out a long list of common allergens, and finding a satisfying snack or side that actually tastes indulgent can feel like a real challenge. Here, sweet potatoes are the star — naturally free from the major trigger foods and packed with flavor on their own. Avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne do all the heavy lifting, turning humble root vegetables into something genuinely crave-worthy. The trick of preheating the sheet pan before the fries ever touch it means you get real caramelized edges and a tender interior, not a soggy pile. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a bright finish that makes the whole plate look as good as it tastes. These are the kind of fries you'll want to make 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.
