I’ve really been craving sweet potato fries, so I put together this concoction because I wanted something that would just be a great snack by itself. OMG! What a heavenly sweet & spicy snack this is! I know, I know nobody wants to turn on an oven in the July heat, but it is just for 20 minutes (plus pre-heat time) and completely worth it! Promise 🙂
Ingredients:
Fries
3 pounds sweet potato
1/4 cup potato starch
Olive oil
Kosher or sea salt
Sriracha Aioli
1/4 cup paleo mayonnaise (see p. 55 of Paleo Made Easy, or purchase your own from Spectrum Organics, etc).
1 tbl. Sriracha sauce
2 tsp. lime juice
1/8 tsp. balsamic vinegar
Method:
Preheat oven to 450°F. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick strips. Place fries in a zip top bag with potato starch and toss to coat. Spread fries in a single layer on baking sheets and toss with olive oil to barely coat and season with salt. Bake fries at 450°F for 20 minutes.
For the aioli whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice and balsamic vinegar. I made this a spicy aioli, which I think goes well with the sweet fries, but if you prefer things less spicy cut the Sriracha in half.
*Disclaimer: Technically Sriracha contains sugar, so it isn’t 100% paleo*
