Sweet Potato Oven Fries
Ingredients
For the sweet potato fries
- 2 small sweet potatoes You can peel or not, it's up to you! Do cut off any woody pieces, if needed.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon coriander
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the creamy cumin ketchup
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayo
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
Make the sweet potato fries
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Cut your sweet potatoes into about ¼" sticks. They should be about as wide around as your pinky, but longer is fine.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices on a cookie sheet, and drizzle the olive oil over them. Sprinkle on the curry powder, coriander, and sea salt. Toss them well to coat them in the oil, spices, and salt, adding more the oil, if necessary, to get all the spices stuck to the sweet potato pieces.
- Arrange the fries in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, so the fries cook evenly. If they look like they're drying out, spray with some extra oil to help them brown without burning. When they look brown and a little crispy, they’re done. You can cook longer for crispier fries, if you like, just check in often to avoid burning.
Make the creamy cumin ketchup
- Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
Notes
Air Fryer Directions: Transfer the sweet potato fries to your air fryer basket. Cook at 370° F for 20-25 minutes, shaking every 8 minutes. If needed, you can add a few minutes of cooking time to the end, depending on the size that you cut your sweet potatoes.
Consistency of size is key with sweet potato fries, so try to make sure your pieces are pretty uniform in width. It's okay if they're longer or shorter, but you'll get the best results if they're all roughly ¼" thick.
Sweet potato fries, especially baked ones, don't get as crispy as fries made from white potatoes. That's because sweet potatoes are less starchy than white potatoes. You can toss in some cornstarch before baking, if you like, to get them crispier.
Don't wait until the fries are done to make the dipping sauce. You have time to make the dip and clean up the kitchen while the fries bake or fry up in the air fryer! The listed cooking time is for the oven. In the air fryer, the cooking time drops to 20 minutes, so it only takes 30 minutes total. The shorter cooking time is stil plenty of time to make the ketchup and clean before you dive into your basket of fries!
You can double or triple this recipe, but I would do that in multiple batches, if you're planning to air fry.
