WHY I LOVE THIS BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES RECIPE

Sweet potato fries are simple. They are ALMOST as easy as ripping open a bag of frozen sweet potato fries from the store, but they taste SO. MUCH. BETTER!

You probably have everything on hand already. I try to minimize trips to the grocery store by having a well stocked kitchen. As long as you have sweet potatoes, you can make these sweet potato fries!

Sweet potatoes are healthy. Known for being a healthy carb, sweet potatoes are also full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Learn more about sweet potatoes here. Since starting my health journey a couple of years ago, I have gotten pretty good at reading food labels. Bags of frozen French fries (and ones you buy at fast food restaurants) have other preservatives and additives in them. Whenever possible, try to make whole, clean foods at home.

They are DELICIOUS. We NEVER have any leftovers when we make sweet potato fries. They are SO. STINKIN’. GOOD.

Sweet potatoes last a couple of weeks. If you are new around here, I try to go grocery shopping every 2-3 weeks so we can save money. We always stock up on sweet potatoes when we go grocery shopping and we always have them on hand. Sweet potatoes are so versatile and can be used in so many different ways.

Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 3

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp burger seasoning or other seasoning mix

SPICY MAYO

  • ¼ cup Mayo
  • 1-2 tsp Sriracha sauce

BURGER SEASONING

  • 3 Tbsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp paprika
  • 2 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dry mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 475. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
  • Wash and cut sweet potatoes. (Peeling is optional). Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Continue to cut into 1/4 inch wedges and try to keep them uniform in size so they bake similarly. Place on baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and spices. Use your hand or spatula to mix to ensure that all wedges are coated.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes. After about 15 minutes, take out the baking sheet and gently shake the pan or use a spatula to mix up the fries so they don't burn. Finish baking.
  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, mix together the sriracha mayo dipping sauce.

Notes

You can put any spices, even just salt and pepper, on the sweet potatoes. Some of our favorites are cinnamon, cajun seasoning, paprika, or just garlic powder. 
Sriracha mayo, ketchup, and ranch are all great dipping sauces for sweet potatoes.
