Ingredients
For the Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries:
- 1/2 tablespoon corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lb. sweet potatoes about 3 medium, unpeeled, washed, and cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
For the Avocado Cilantro Sauce:
- 1 avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice from about 1/2 lime
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To make the sauce: add all ingredients (1 avocado, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, and 1 tablespoon olive oil) to a food processor and turn on, scraping down the sides occasionally, until a creamy, uniform sauce forms. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
- To make the fries: mix the corn starch (1/2 tablespoon), kosher salt (1 teaspoon), black pepper (1/2 teaspoon), chili powder (1/2 teaspoon), and garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon) in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, add the cut sweet potatoes, olive oil (2 tablespoons), and spice mixture. Mix with your hands to coat each fry evenly.
- Arrange the fries on the prepared baking sheet so they don't touch each other. If the sheet seems crowded, use two.
- Bake for 40 minutes, flipping around once halfway through cooking, or until browned and crispy- the fries should be stiff if you pick them up and not flop over.
- Serve fries with the sauce.

Notes
- Make it grain-free/paleo: The corn starch helps absorb some of the liquid on the outside of the fries, resulting in a crispier sweet potato fry that holds its shape. If you are on a grain-free/paleo diet, feel free to omit it- the fries will still be delicious!
- Sauce alternative: When I make sweet potato fries, I alternate between this sauce and a simple sauce of mayonnaise, fresh minced garlic, and lemon juice. If you want an alternative to the avocado cilantro sauce, I recommend this (get the recipe here).
