Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground chipotle seasoning, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt in a bowl.

Peel the sweet potatoes.

Cut off the ends of the sweet potatoes to avoid skinny pieces that may burn.

Cut the sweet potatoes into halves, then into halves again, aiming for pieces about half an inch thick.

Trim any black spots from the sweet potatoes if necessary.

Pour the spice mixture over the cut sweet potatoes and mix thoroughly with hands to coat evenly.

Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to avoid steaming.

Drizzle a little olive oil on the baking sheet if using foil to prevent sticking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, turn the sweet potato fries over and return to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes until crispy and browned.
