Why this Recipe Works
First of all, it’s so simple and easy to make. The fries take about 30 minutes to soak and 30 minutes to bake but if you make enough, you can get several snacks or meals out of it. The Chipotle Dipping Sauce is made with only 8 ingredients and lasts for up to a week in the fridge, perfect for the fries, a salad or bowl of veggies.
Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Dipping Sauce Ingredients
- 2-3 Sweet Potatoes
- Vegan Mayo
- Mayo
- Chipotle Pepper
- Garlic
- Lime Juice
- Honey
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
How to Make Sweet Potato Fries
- When making the sweet potato fries, start by soaking the sliced fries in water for about 30 minutes. This will help soften the fries and bring out the flavors.
- Dry the fries completely before seasoning with olive oil and salt & pepper.
- Place the fries on a cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until you get the desired texture you like in fries.
How to Make the Chipotle Dipping Sauce
- When making the chipotle dipping sauce, you will need to put all of your ingredients in a blender and mix until completely combined. I swear by this Vitamix Blender. It’s definitely an investment piece but it’s a good investment, especially if you enjoy making dips and sauces.
- Once the sauce is made and the fries are done, enjoy the two together as a appetizer, part of a cheese board or even as a meal.
Notes
- When cutting the sweet potatoes, cut in half, then in half again. Place the potato face down and start cutting into thin slices. You may need to cut this again so you have skinny strips. It’s a good idea to keep the slices the same size so it cooks evenly.
- Elevate the potato slices on a cooling rack on top of your cookie sheet. This helps it to cook evenly and avoid mushy fries.
- If you don’t have vegan mayo, you can replace it with an additional 1/2 cup of regular mayo.
- The honey in this recipe can be replaced with a teaspoon of maple syrup if you prefer the taste of maple syrup over honey.
- Store the dipping sauce in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to a week.
