Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 whole peppers chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss to coat evenly.
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil and toss again to ensure all pieces are lightly covered.
Season the fries with paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and half of the salt (reserve the other half for after baking). Toss to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
While the fries are baking, make the chipotle mayonnaise. Finely chop the chipotle peppers and mix them with mayonnaise, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining salt while they are still hot.
Serve the sweet potato fries immediately with the chipotle mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
