Sweet potato fries are so addictive! Crispy and slightly charred on the edges, they make the best side or snack to enjoy with a simple avocado dip or any dip of your choice!

Ingredients

Scale

For the sweet potato fries:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into sticks
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil*
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Extra sea salt (for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for serving)

Avocado dip:

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) plain yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), and arrange the oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into sticks, about ¼ to ½ inch wide (around 1 cm).
  3. Toss them with olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Season with paprika, garlic, salt and pepper and toss well.**
  4. Transfer the sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, in a single layer, and leaving a little space around each one.
  5. Bake until brown and crisp on the bottom, about 10-15 minutes, then flip and bake until the other side is crisp, about 10 minutes.
  6. For the avocado dip, add garlic in a food processor. Pulse until minced, then add the ripe avocado, yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, add some chopped cilantro, and mix again.
  7. Sprinkle some sea salt and chopped cilantro over the fries, and serve with the avocado dip. Enjoy!

Notes

* If your sweet potatoes are not very large, adjust the quantity of oil you are using. You don’t want to use too much oil or your fries will turn oily and won’t become crispy.

** For even crispier fries, you can coat the fries in an additional mixture consisting of equal part of cornstarch and water (about 2 Tablespoons each).
