BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH HONEY LIME DIP

Recipe From: Laura

The kids went crazy over these healthy sweet potato fries! I had even tripled the recipe thinkin' there would be leftovers to reheat for an after school snack but these babies were gobbled up in no time. The dip was a favorite as well. 

 

1 lb peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1/4″ match-sticks 

2 Tbsp avocado oil

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon coriander

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon parsley

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Honey-Lime Dip

6oz container plain, low-fat yogurt

1 tablespoon mayo or mayo substitute (low cal is fine)

1/2 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/8 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon parsley

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

 Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut sweet potato into 1/4 in. match stick size pieces. Place sweet potatoes in a bowl with avocado oil  & toss till well coated.  Sprinkle in seasoning mixture and toss again with hands to coat. Lay out the coated sweet potato pieces on a cookie sheet so that pieces are not touching each other.  Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes.  Use a metal spatula to gently flip fries and then return pan to oven. 

Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes or until fries are starting to lightly brown and crisp.  Remove pan from oven and cool 5 minutes.

While potatoes are cooking, mix all dip ingredients and place in fridge to chill.  Serve fries immediately.

*you want 1lb sweet potatoes after they are peeled, sliced, etc. If you weigh them at the store make sure you have a little more than a pound to allow for the peeling, and tossing of small pieces.
