Cumin Sweet Potato Fries with Tahini Yogurt Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

For the fries:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon cumin
  • heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground corriander
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or more, depending on how spicy you like your food
  • Salt and pepper

For the Tahini Yogurt Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1/2 clove garlic minced
  • Splash of lemon juice
  • Drizzle of honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Make the fries:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Wash and cut your sweet potatoes into strips. You can peel them, but I chose to leave the skins on. Also, the skinnier you cut your sweet potatoes, the crispier your fries will end up being.
  • Place sweet potatoes in a zip-top bag. Add oil and spices. Shake, shake, shake until sweet potatoes are even coated.
  • Place fries on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crisp, flipping halfway through.

Make the dipping sauce:

  • Combine in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve alongside sweet potato fries.

Notes

Find tahini in the international foods aisle of your grocery store, usually with the Middle Eastern foods.
