Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Garlic Aioli

Ingredients

• 2 large Sweet Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise (Egg-based)
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the 2 large sweet potatoes, then cut them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick, fry-shaped sticks.
2. 2In a large bowl, combine the cut sweet potato fries with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well until all the fries are evenly coated.
3. 3Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
4. 4Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Using tongs or a spatula, flip each sweet potato fry to the other side. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for another 10-13 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
5. 5While the sweet potato fries are baking, prepare the garlic aioli. Peel the 2 cloves of garlic and mince them very finely.
6. 6In a small bowl, add the 0.5 cup of mayonnaise, the finely minced 2 cloves of garlic, and the 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and smooth.
7. 7Once the sweet potato fries are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven. Serve the fries immediately alongside the garlic aioli for dipping.
