Description
Indulge in these crispy and flavorful baked sweet potato fries, served with a creamy garlic aioli for the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into french fry strips
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the garlic aioli sauce:
- 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Pat the sweet potato strips dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 28–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges and tender inside. For more char, broil on high for 2–3 minutes at the end.
- While the fries are baking, whisk together garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and hot sauce (if using) in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the baked sweet potato fries immediately with garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
Notes
How to store: Store cooled fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the garlic aioli separately in a sealed jar for up to 4 days.
How to reheat: Reheat fries in a 400°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes until crispy. Avoid the microwave, which makes them soggy.
How to freeze: Freeze baked fries in a single layer on a sheet pan until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, or air fryer at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
