Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into long, even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil, paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
While the fries are baking, prepare the basil salt: In a food processor, blend the fresh basil leaves and sea salt until the mixture is fine and green. Set aside.
Next, make the garlic mayonnaise: Finely mince or grate the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste. Chill until ready to serve.
Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle generously with the basil salt while they are still warm.
Serve the sweet potato fries immediately, alongside the garlic mayonnaise for dipping. Enjoy!
