Peel and cut sweet potatoes into thin strips.

Soak the sweet potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Drain and pat the sweet potato strips dry with a towel.

Toss the dried sweet potatoes with olive oil in a large bowl until evenly coated.

Sprinkle cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the sweet potatoes.

Mix well to ensure all strips are coated with the seasoning.

Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
