Ingredients

4 large sweet potatoes 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder Salt and pepper, to taste For the Spicy Mayo Dip: + 1/2 cup mayonnaise + 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce + 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice + 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder + Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into even sized fries, about 1/2 inch thick. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 25 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through. While the fries bake, prepare the spicy mayo dip by combining mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Chef’s Insight

For an extra crispy texture, sprinkle the fries with a little cornstarch before seasoning them.

Notes

The sweet potato fries can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free seasonings and ensuring the mayo dip is also gluten-free.

Substitutions

For the spicy mayo dip, substitute sriracha sauce with any hot sauce of your choice, or for a milder option, try mustard or ketchup.

Alternative Preparations

You can bake the sweet potato fries at a different temperature if desired. Just keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn.

Alternative Methods

Instead of baking, you can also use an air fryer or deep-fry the sweet potato fries in oil for a more traditional, crispier texture.

Best Storage Practice

Store leftovers airtight, refrigerate up to 3 days.

Shelf Life

The baked sweet potato fries are best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two hours or in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Plating Tips

Arrange the sweet potato fries on a plate in a visually appealing pattern, and serve with the spicy mayo dip on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor.
