Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized fry shapes, about a quarter-inch thick.
Place the sweet potato fries in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika to evenly coat.
Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a blender, combine the coconut cream, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and water.
Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with additional water if necessary.
Transfer the cheese sauce to a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve the sweet potato fries hot, drizzled with the warm Paleo cheese sauce, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
