Southwestern Sweet Potato Fries

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

23 large sweet potatoes

2 TBSP avocado oil

2 tsp sea salt

1 1/2 tsp chili powder

1 1/2 tsp cumin

1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp cayenne

2 TBSP arrowroot starch

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup mayonnaise or veganaise

chopped fresh cilantro and coarse sea salt for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425.
  2. In a small bowl combine the sea salt, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne.
  3. In another small bowl combine the ketchup and mayonnaise and add 1 1/2 tsp of the seasoning mix. Set aside.
  4. Add the arrowroot to the remaining seasoning and mix well.
  5. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
  6. Cut the potatoes into 1/4” fries keeping them as close to the same length as possible.
  7. Place the fries in a large bowl and toss with the avocado oil.
  8. Add the seasoning with the arrowroot and toss to coat the fries well.
  9. Spread the fries on an unlined baking sheet pan without crowding them. If necessary use a second pan for extra fries.
  10. Place the baking sheet in the top third of the oven. I find that it works best to bake one sheet pan at a time. If you have a second pan, bake them in another oven, or wait until the first pan is done.
  11. Bake for 25 minutes and then flip the fries and return to the oven.
  12. Bake for an additional 15-25 minutes or until crisp and browned.
  13. Place the sweet potato fries on a serving tray and top with chopped fresh cilantro and coarse sea salt. Serve with the seasoned fry sauce.
