Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons corn starch
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoons pure maple syrup or brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more for more heat)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or fine-grain sea salt + more to taste
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (I use full-fat)
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
1-2 garlic cloves (smashed and finely minced (about 2 heaping teaspoons))
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon fresh minced dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Scrub sweet potatoes or peel off the skin, if you desire (I like to leave it on). Cut sweet potatoes into approx. 1/4-inch matchsticks. Put sweet potatoes into a large bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch over the top. Toss with your clean hands until all of the fries are coated. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again. Add maple syrup or brown sugar, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss until all of the fries are coated.
Lay fries on a baking sheet, making sure there is a little space around each fry - don't crowd or pile them! Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to use two (I do).
Place in oven and bake until golden brown and many are crisp, about 25 minutes, turning carefully at right around the 15 minute mark. Remove fries from oven and let cool a bit.
While the fries are baking, make your ranch dip. In a small bowl, stir together all of the dip ingredients. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
Add more salt to the fries if you like. Serve warm with the ranch dip.

Tips:

Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized fries: This will help them cook evenly. If the fries are too thick, they will not cook through, and if they are too thin, they will burn.
Toss the sweet potato fries in oil and seasonings before baking: This will help them crisp up and develop flavor.
Bake the sweet potato fries at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Flip the sweet potato fries halfway through baking: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
Serve the sweet potato fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce: They are delicious with ketchup, ranch dressing, or even a spicy dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Spicy baked sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their crispy texture, sweet flavor, and spicy kick, these fries are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
