Place cut fries in large bowl and cover with cold water for 30 minutes.

This soaking step removes excess starch for crispier final results.

Drain sweet potato fries and pat completely dry with clean kitchen towels.

In large mixing bowl, toss dried fries with olive oil until evenly coated.

Sprinkle cornstarch over oiled fries and toss until well distributed.

Add all seasonings and spices, tossing until fries are evenly coated.

Arrange fries in single layer on prepared baking sheets, not overcrowding.

Leave space between each fry for proper air circulation and crisping.

Bake 15 minutes, then flip each fry for even browning on both sides.

Continue baking 10-15 minutes more until golden brown and crispy.

Check for doneness by testing a few fries for desired crispiness level.

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with finishing salt while hot.

Let cool slightly on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to maintain crispiness.

Transfer to serving basket lined with parchment paper for presentation.

Arrange fries in attractive overlapping pattern for visual appeal.

Garnish with fresh chopped herbs for color and freshness contrast.
