Chili-Dusted Sweet Potato Fries with Avocado Ranch

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.
