SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH BASIL SALT AND GARLIC MAYONNAISE



SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH BASIL SALT AND GARLIC MAYONNAISE image

Categories     Potato     Side     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 sweet potatoes, cut into about 1/2 by 5-inch "fries"
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the sweet potato "fries" on a foil-lined baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Bake until golden, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile combine the basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. In another small bowl combine the mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice, and stir to combine. When the sweet potato fries come out of the oven, sprinkle with the basil salt. Serve with the garlic mayonnaise alongside for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh basil. Fresh basil has a more intense flavor than dried basil, and it will make your mayonnaise taste more vibrant.
  • Use a high-quality mayonnaise. The quality of your mayonnaise will make a big difference in the taste of your aioli. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh, simple ingredients.
  • Don't over-process the aioli. Over-processing can make the aioli too thick and pasty. Pulse the ingredients in a food processor or blender until they are just combined.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little extra spice.
  • Use aioli immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. Aioli can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Basil and garlic mayonnaise is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and salads. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables, crackers, or chips. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to add flavor to your meals, give basil and garlic mayonnaise a try.
