Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Cut the potatoes into ½-inch strips. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and generously spray with cooking oil. Toss the sweet potato fries in the extra virgin olive oil and divide among the two baking sheets. Place in the oven for 25 to 35 minutes, tossing once during cooking. Bake until they are caramelized and nicely browned.
