Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 inch piece, grated Fresh ginger
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 medium, finely chopped Red onion
- 2 medium, chopped Tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin, even strips to resemble fries.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, turmeric powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until well coated.
Spread the sweet potato strips evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick silicon mat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crisp and golden brown.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped red onion and sauté until it turns translucent, around 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the cumin, coriander, and paprika, cooking the spices for about 1 minute to enhance their flavors.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and start to break down into a sauce, roughly 5 minutes.
Season the sauce with the remaining salt and adjust to taste if necessary.
Once the sweet potato fries are done, add them to the pan with the masala sauce and gently toss until well coated.
Transfer the Chips Masala onto a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and a drizzle of lemon juice for added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy Chips Masala!
