These fries are so much healthier than their deep fried siblings, and even more delicious and flavorful because they're made with a good quality fat. A simple yogurt dipping sauce takes them to the next level too.
INGREDIENTS:
1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound) - we've tried orange yams and white sweet potatoes and have loved both
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons House Blend or Olio Santo EVOO
Preheat the oven to 400F. Peel (it’s ok to leave some skin on if you like it) and cut the sweet potato into 1/4-inch-thick sticks or wedges. Toss the sweet potato wedges with the olive oil and salt in a large bowl (or right on your baking sheet if it is rimmed) until evenly coated. Arrange on the baking sheet so the pieces are not crowded or touching - very important so they get crispy rather than just steaming.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, then use a spatula or tongs to flip the individual pieces and then roast for another 5-10 minutes. Fries should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Timing may vary depending on how large or small you cut your fries!
VARIATIONS:
Roast with Rosemary, Garlic, or Hot Chili EVOO.
Use Black Truffle Sea Salt instead of kosher salt.
Toss with Zhug, Harissa, Jalapeno Lime or Chipotle Honey before baking (or right after they come out of the oven) for a spiced version.
Stir 1 Tbsp of your favorite Stonehouse spice into ½ cup of yogurt to make a healthy spiced dipping sauce (any of the above)!
