Description
Crispy Sweet Potato Fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to regular fries, offering a crunchy texture and a hint of spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- For the Spicy Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (or more for extra heat)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, prepare the spicy dipping sauce by combining mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth.
- Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve the crispy sweet potato fries hot with the spicy dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the spiciness of the fries.
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut sweet potatoes in water for 30 minutes before baking.
- These fries can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
