Crispy sweet potato fries tossed with a savory and slightly spicy chili powder blend, served with a cool and creamy avocado ranch dipping sauce.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil and cornstarch until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato fries and toss until well coated.
Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
While the fries are baking, prepare the avocado ranch. In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic. Blend until smooth.
Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the crispy sweet potato fries immediately with the avocado ranch for dipping.
Nutrition per serving (250g)
For extra crispy fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before tossing with oil and spices. Pat them dry before baking.
Do not overcrowd the baking sheet, as this will steam the fries instead of allowing them to crisp up. If necessary, bake in batches.
Adjust the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference.
Store any leftover avocado ranch in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The avocado may brown slightly, but it will still be safe to eat.
To prevent sticking, ensure the baking sheet is well oiled or lined with parchment paper.
For even cooking, cut the sweet potatoes into uniform sizes.
