Ingredients
Scale
- Sweet Potatoes
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 3–5 tbsp olive oil or pan spray
- 1 tbsp Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 – 1 tbsp Cajun spice (depending how spicy you like it)
- Healthy Aioli
- 3/4 a cup 0% fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 an avocado
- 3 garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1 small handful cilantro
- juice of a lime
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425-degrees.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them thinly. This can be done by a knife (prepare for some minor blisters if you are cutting a lot) or a nice sharp mandolin will do the trick nicely as well. It’s a bit faster on the mandolin just be careful with your fingers! Those things are sharp!
- Once they are cut up, place them on a sheet pan that has been fitted with parchment paper.
- Prepare a sheet pan by spraying it with pan spray and THEN putting parchment on top. Create a huge “X” on the sheet from one corner to the next. This is a great trick to get your paper to stick onto the sheet pan.
- Drizzle about 1 tbsp of oil per pan onto the fries and sprinkle them liberally with salt, garlic powder, black pepper and my secret ingredient, cajun spice.
- Toss them all with your hands so they are evenly coated. That’s it! Place them into a preheated 425-degree oven and let them roast. Toss them about 15 minutes into the cooking process to ensure they are not burning r cooking unevenly. Allow to cook for another 10-15 minutes until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
- In the meant time lets make our healthy aioli. Place cilantro, Greek yogurt, plenty of peeled garlic, line juice, avocado and salt and pepper into a food processor or Vitamix. Blend it all up until smooth, creamy and combined. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
- Remove the fries and serve immediately with some ketchup and the divine creamy healthy aioli.
