Regular fries are good, but sweet potato fries are simply amazing! Thus, when I realized that the sweet potato fries at Trader Joe's were coated in wheat flour, I decided to try making my own. I've added a bit of cayenne pepper to my recipe, but this could always be omitted. I love my food a little spicy.
4 medium sized sweet potatoes
2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tbs. gluten free taco seasoning (My favorite is Trader Joe's)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peal the sweet potatoes and slice into strips about 1/2 inch thick. Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle the salt, taco seasoning, pepper, cayenne pepper, and olive oil over the potatoes. Mix with your hands until all the pieces are evenly coated. Place on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes flipping the fries half-way through.
Now, these fries would be great with a variety of dipping sauces. Honestly, when Grant and I made them we dipped them in mustard and ranch. You could try an aioli sauce (a flavored mayonnaise) or ketchup as well. Make sure you check your dipping sauce's ingredients list. Annie's offers a variety of dressings that are gluten free, which is where I buy my ranch dressing.
I love these fries!
