BAKED CINNAMON SUGAR SWEET POTATO FRIES

Ohhhh Sweet Potato Fries. 

Remember when I made some spicy ones a while back with a Sriracha dipping sauce? 

Crap those things were good.

I figured not everyone loves spicy- so this version is sweet. Juuuust like all of you. I know. I'm full of it today. I blame it on the looong week at work.

Here it is folks, I dare you to eat just one...

What you'll need to make it happen:

For the Fries:

- 2 Sweet Potatoes

- 1 Tbsp CornStarch

- 1 Tbsp Canola Oil

- Cinnamon Sugar

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Cut potatoes into evenly cut fries- the more even, the better cooking

Step 2: Soak the fries in water for 15 minutes

Step 3: Drain, Pat dry, and throw in a Ziplock bag with the cornstarch and 1 Tbsp cinnamon sugar. 

Step 4: Toss with 1 Tbsp canola oil and spread out evenly on a baking sheet lined with tinfoil

Step 6: Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, flip, and then bake for another 15 minutes. If you cut your fries a little thicker, they may need more time- so bake until crispy!

Step 7: When hot out of the oven, sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar- load it up if ya feel like it!

If you want to make these REALLY good, give them a light sprinkle of salt too, it'll make them that perfect balance of salty and sweet!

BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES w/SRIRACHA AIOLI

I've tried to make baked sweet potato fries multiple times- and each time they end up being a nasty soggy mess. I can't decide whether it was bad recipes or user error...but either way- not delicious.

I decided to give it one more try after seeing my favorite gals at A Beautiful Mess share a recipe I hadn't tried yet! I tweaked the seasoning a bit, and made up a different dip to go with them- but the base recipe was the same- and they turned out absolutely perfect!

What you'll need to make it happen:

For the Fries:

- 2 Sweet Potatoes

- 1 Tbsp CornStarch

- Salt, Pepper to taste

- 1 teaspoon Cayenne (less if you don't like spicy!)

- 2 Tbsp Canola Oil

For the Sriracha Dip

- 1/4 cup mayo

- 1 tsp Sriracha

- 1/8 tsp salt

- 1/4 tsp garlic powder

-1/8 tsp cayenne

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Cut potatoes into evenly cut fries- the more even, the better cooking

Step 2: Soak the fries in water for 15 minutes

Step 3: Drain, Pat dry, and throw in a Ziplock bag with the cornstarch and cayenne

Step 4: Toss with 1 Tbsp canola oil and spread out evenly on a baking sheet lined with tinfoil

Step 5: Sprinkle with pepper and salt, and drizzle with other Tbsp of canola oil

Step 6: Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, flip, and then bake for another 15 minutes. If you cut your fries a little thicker, they may need more time- so bake until crispy!

Once they're cool, taste- and sprinkle with more salt/pepper to taste.

Step 7: Mix all dip ingredients together and enjoy!

You guys.

They are seriously addictive. The dip is so damn good. Yup.

 These are totally going to be my new go-to snack for the weekend when I'm craving some super unhealthy chips :)

Raise your hand if you're gonna be giving these a try this week!

Let me know how they turn out!
