It's pretty hard to do because of the moisture content in a sweet potato, but here are some techniques to improve the outcome...

1. High Heat 400-425
2. Even, thin, uniform slices 1/4" thick is what I like
3. Whisk an egg white and coat the cut fries in the egg white
4. Spread them out so they are not touching in a single layer on a rack above a sheet pan
5. Bake until crispy and delicious! 20-25 mins
6. You can also try using the convection setting on your oven if you have that.0 -
Will try out this method actually and make sure to soak the potatoes beforehand as well.
Thanks everyone for your input!0 -
Mine always stick to the pan too (well, the foil I put on the pan). Drives me nuts. I'll have to stop crowding the pan and put them higher in the oven I guess...0
