Sweet Potato Fries in the Oven with Paprika Garlic Aioli
Description
This recipe involves slicing peeled sweet potatoes into uniform strips and coating them with olive oil and a seasoning mix that includes smoked paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. The fries are arranged in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets to ensure even roasting and crisping.
Baked at 400°F for 30 minutes with a flip halfway through, the fries develop a tender interior with a lightly crisp exterior. Allowing them to rest after baking enhances their crispiness. The accompanying paprika garlic aioli is a simple blend of mayonnaise, smoked paprika, minced garlic, garlic powder, lime juice, and seasoning, providing a creamy and tangy dip that complements the fries.
These fries work well as a side dish or snack and benefit from careful preparation steps such as using parchment paper and avoiding overcrowding to promote even cooking.

Instructions
Sweet Potato Fries
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer in both baking sheets and don't overcrowd.
- Bake in a preheated 400 F oven for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Let the sweet potato fries rest for about 10 minutes before serving them. This will help them crisp up a little bit more.
