Ingredients

• For the Sweet Potato Fries:
• - 4 large sweet potatoes
• - 3 tablespoons olive oil
• - Salt and pepper to taste
• - Optional: spices like chili powder, paprika, or cumin for an added kick
• For the Maple Aioli:
• - 1 cup mayonnaise
• - 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
• - 1 clove garlic, minced
• - Salt to taste
• Note: If you want to make this dish vegan, simply replace the mayonnaise with a vegan alternative.

Preparation Method

Let's get started with the sweet potatoes. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

While the oven is warming up, peel your sweet potatoes and cut them into fry-shaped pieces. Try to keep them uniformly sized so they cook evenly. Once your fries are cut, toss them in a large bowl with the olive oil and the seasonings of your choice. Spread them out on the baking tray, ensuring they aren't touching or overlapping.

Bake them in the preheated oven for about 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. You're looking for a golden-brown color and a crispy texture.

While the fries are baking, you can prepare the maple aioli. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, maple syrup, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

When the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them hot with the maple aioli on the side for dipping. Enjoy!

Tips and Conclusion

For a fun twist, try making sweet potato wedges instead of fries. Cut the potatoes into thick wedges and follow the same baking instructions. You can also experiment with the aioli by adding a dash of cayenne pepper for a little heat, or a squeeze of lemon juice for some tang.


And there you have it – a dish that is simple, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. Sweet Potato Fries with Maple Aioli is the perfect snack for a game night, a side dish for a dinner party, or a treat for when you just feel like indulging yourself.
