Ingredients

Sweet and Smoky Sweet Potato Fries:

Creamy Garlic Rosemary Dip (see Notes for vegan version):

  • 5 tablespoons plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

For the Sweet and Smoky Sweet Potato Fries:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • To a gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag, add the sliced sweet potato, cornstarch, salt, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and black pepper. Seal the bag and toss to coat.
  • Drizzle half of the olive oil on the bottom of a large baking tray. Spread the fries out evenly on the tray (it’s ok if they’re close). Drizzle the remaining half of the olive oil on top.
  • Roast for 25 minutes, and then remove from the oven, flip the fries, and roast for 15 to 20 minutes more, depending on how crispy you like them.
  • Sprinkle the rosemary on top.
  • Serve warm along with the Creamy Garlic and Rosemary Dip for dipping.

For the Creamy Garlic and Rosemary Dip:

  • Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
  • Chill until using, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Cornstarch Substitute: Instead of cornstarch, you could use 1 tablespoon tapioca starch or arrowroot starch.
  • Vegan Version of the Creamy Garlic and Rosemary Dip: Instead of Greek yogurt use vegan mayo and instead of heavy whipping cream use canned unsweetened full-fat coconut milk.
  • Reheating: Reheat sweet potato fries in a preheated 350F oven until warm, or in an air fryer at 350F for about 5 minutes.
