Sweet Potato Fries

DIY Sweet Potato Fries
Cumin-Spiked Sweet Potato Fries
Inspired by The Iron Door Saloon in Groveland, CA.

Serves: 4 (as a side)

Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil

For Dipping Sauce:
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice
Zest of 1 lime

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into ½-inch by 5-inch batons.
  3. Toss the fries in the olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin, coating evenly.
  4. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet (along with the whole cloves of garlic), in one layer, and bake about 20 minutes. Flip them so they brown evenly. Bake for another 15 minutes or until golden.
  5. For the dipping sauce, take the roasted garlic (removing the skin) and mash them up into a paste. Mix well with yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice and zest. Serve immediately.
