Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them to achieve a crispy texture. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the fries and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Keep a close watch, as oven temperatures can vary, and uniformly cut potatoes will ensure they cook evenly.
