Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo
- 1 teaspoon Lime Juice
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 200°C. Peel the 2 large sweet potatoes. Carefully cut each sweet potato lengthwise into 1.27 cm thick slices, then cut these slices into 1.27 cm wide fry shapes.
- 2Place the cut sweet potato fries into a large bowl. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the bowl. Toss everything together with your hands or a large spoon until all the sweet potato fries are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- 3Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet, making sure no fries are overlapping. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the baking time (after about 10-12 minutes), carefully flip each fry to ensure even cooking; the fries are done when they are golden brown and appear crispy.
- 4While the sweet potato fries are baking, prepare the aioli. In a food processor, combine the 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 chipotle pepper in adobo (you can remove the seeds for less heat, if desired), and 1 teaspoon of lime juice. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and well combined.
- 5Carefully remove the hot sweet potato fries from the oven. Serve them immediately with the prepared chipotle aioli for dipping.
