Description

Deliciously crispy baked sweet potato fries served with a zesty chipotle lime dipping sauce, perfect as a flavorful side dish or snack. The sweet potatoes are oven-roasted to a golden brown and paired with a creamy, mildly spicy dip that balances sweetness with smoky heat.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Sweet Potato Fries

  • 4 sweet potatoes or yams
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Chipotle Lime Dipping Sauce

  • 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon ground chipotle powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, ground chipotle powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder. Mix well to integrate the spices and flavors evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to get it ready for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  3. Cut and coat the sweet potatoes: Peel (if desired) and cut the sweet potatoes into long sticks resembling fries. Place them in a large Ziploc bag, add just enough vegetable oil to lightly coat all pieces, seal the bag, and toss gently to distribute the oil evenly.
  4. Bake the fries: Arrange the coated sweet potato sticks in a single layer on a cookie sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, turning the fries regularly so they brown evenly and become crisp on all sides.
  5. Season the fries: Once golden and crispy, remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle Kosher salt over them to taste.
  6. Serve: Plate the sweet potato fries and serve alongside the chilled chipotle lime dipping sauce for a perfect pairing.

Notes

  • This sweet potato fries dipping sauce has a mild kick that complements the natural sweetness of the fries beautifully.
  • The baking time can vary slightly depending on the thickness of your fries; thinner fries will cook faster and get crispier.
  • For best results, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation for crispiness.
  • The dipping sauce can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
