I found a trick that helps keep the potatoes from burning and to add a bit of crispiness, which is always a challenge because of the sugars in sweet potatoes: toss the cut fries in cornstarch to lightly coat before tossing them with the oil.

After reading the other reviews I made a few adjustments, I baked my fries at 400 degrees and I did not spray my cooking sheet with cooking spray(my sheet is non-stick. Once they came out of the oven, my husband who does not like sweet potato fries was eating them! I really tossed the canola oil and salt all over the fries making sure to really coat them. After 30 minutes they came out perfectly. Hope this helps others who had bad results!

I just made these sweet potatoes and they burned. They didn't taste like any sweet potatoes I've ever had before. Would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
