Notes

Olive oil can be replaced with any refined oil. Mixing and coating the sweet potato sticks evenly is important.

Equal sized sticks helps in even baking on all sides otherwise small thin ones bake fast than big ones.

Any spices combination can be used for this recipe. Added what I had in my pantry.

Kashmiri red chili powder is for colour and this can be skipped.

Sea salt can be replaced with normal salt.

Mixed herbs can be replaced with oregano or kasuri methi.
