Garlic and basil sweet potato fries
If you are one of those folks who always asks to substituteย regular french fries with sweet potatoes, then this dish is for you: homemade baked sweet potato fries seasoned with your favorite spices and herbs. It’s easy to customize the flavors to your liking; here, I used garlic, basil, and paprika, but you can dress them up however you like. The dipping sauce is a simple mayo and sriracha combination, which adds a nice hint of spiciness to the fries.

Garlic and basil sweet potato fries
The most time-consuming (and difficult) part of making sweet potato fries is slicing them up. After that, it’s easy — just toss them in seasonings and roast them. When slicing, I typically cutย each sweet potato in half lengthwise so that they are more manageable. Then I carefully slice them about 1/4 inch thick. It’s important to slice them to approximately the same width so that they will have similarย baking times.

These sweet potato friesย work great as a healthy vegetarian side dish or party appetizer.ย I like pairing them with spicy chicken tendersย and salmon quesadillas.

Sweet potato fries are my kryptonite. I’m tellin’ ya, a batch of these and 10 minutes in front of me, and you’re looking at a clean plate. Or baking sheet, depending on my patience that day. Must try these soon!

Now I am not a huge sweet potato fan but looking at these fries I think I might reconsider! They look perfect! And with that sauce – I bet they taste amazing as well! ๐Ÿ™‚
