Transfer the sweet potato fries to a large bowl.

Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the fries.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.

Divide the fries between the hot baking sheets and spread them out to avoid overcrowding.

Bake the fries, turning once and rotating pans once, until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are tender.
