Ingredients

Sweet Potato Fries:

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into 4-inch long and 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick fries
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Coarse ground rock salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Avocado Dip, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.

Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until the sweet potatoes are coated. Add the paprika, chili powder, coriander, salt, and pepper; toss to distribute evenly.

Arrange the coated fries in a single layer on the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes on the lower rack until the sweet potatoes soften. Transfer the pan to the upper rack of the oven and bake 10 minutes longer, until fries are crispy. Serve with Avocado Dip.

Avocado Dip:

1 avocado, see Cook's Note*

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup cream cheese

1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped.

2 scallions, white and light green part only, chopped

1 lime, juiced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Place the avocado, mayonnaise, cream cheese, jalapeno, scallions, and lime juice into a blender or small food processor. Blend for 1 minute or until you have a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve as a dip for the Sweet Potato Oven Fries.

* Cook's Note: We find that Hass avocados make the smoothest and best tasting Avocado dip.

yum
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Definitely leave the skin on, it makes it have a much more complex flavor! The mix of spices is divine. I didn't have chili... powder so I used cayenne pepper, just don't use as much as you would with the chili powder. The fries didn't get crispy, but I put it under the broiler for a few minutes and they got a little bronzer which made them taste nice. The dip was GREAT, very cooling and fresh despite the jalepenos. I used lemon juice instead of lime juice and it turned out great. Read more

Delish!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This a great alternative to frying the white potato and I do not have as much guilt. One thing to be care of is the heat in... your oven. I could not go the full 20 minutes in the bottom because they started to burn. I moved them to the broiler to finish.Read more

Great Flavor!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Easy, quick to make and later rewarded with delicious flavors... the best sweet potato recipe so far that I've tried. And the... sweet potatoes didn't get very crispy... probably because I didn't leave the skins on... but in the end I didn't really care- they tasted SOOO good :D I will definitely make these again!Read more

Great Combo!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The sweet potatoes were not necessarily crisp, but they were tasty and the avocado dip was a great accompaniment. I used... chipotle chili powder and the smokiness it added was quite delicious with the sweet potatoes. I think the 20 minutes on the bottom of the oven was too long - I will switch the times next go around and do 10 minutes (or so) on the bottom rack and then longer on the top rack. All in all, a great snack.Read more

Red yams
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used red yams instead of sweet potatoes. I thought they burned but it was just all the sugar caramalizing. These are the... best fries I can remember ever tasting and the avacado dip really makes them so don't omit that part! Mine didn't crisp very well either but I also overcrowded the pan and figured that would happen. They still tasted amazing!Read more
