Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized sticks (about ¼ inch thick).
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil.
Add salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper; mix well.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
