Sweet potato fries are one of those snacks that feel indulgent but are actually built on a genuinely wholesome foundation. For anyone managing fructose sensitivity, sweet potatoes can be a tricky call — but in moderate portions and prepared simply like this, they sidestep the high-fructose pitfalls that come with heavily processed sauces, coatings, or sweetened seasonings. Every ingredient here is clean and straightforward: avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and a little cayenne if you want a kick. The technique matters too — preheating the sheet pan before the fries ever touch it is the secret to getting those crispy, caramelized edges without any deep frying or added sugars. You end up with fries that are smoky, a little spicy, and satisfying in a way that feels like a treat. 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 a regular basis.

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.
