Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: black pepper, cayenne pepper, fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Slice the sweet potatoes into even-sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick.
- In a large bowl, combine sweet potato slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the fries and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

- Plate the fries, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with chipotle aioli on the side.
Notes
[‘Ensure fries are spaced out on the baking sheet to avoid sogginess.’, ‘Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.’, ‘Adjust spice levels in both the fries and aioli to suit your taste.’]
