Sweet Potato Fries
Baked sweet potato fries are a crispy, oven-roasted side made with sliced sweet potatoes and warm spices served with a Sriracha Lime Aioli.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Sriracha Lime Aioli
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the sweet potatoes if desired, then slice into thin, even matchsticks or wedges.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
- Spread fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, do not overcrowd. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and crisp at the edges.
- In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, Sriracha, minced garlic, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust heat or acidity as needed.
- Sprinkle fries with more salt to taste. Serve hot with aioli on the side for dipping.

Notes
- Cut Evenly: Slice the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces so they cook at the same rate.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Space the fries out to allow air to circulate and encourage browning.
- Flip Halfway Through: Turning the fries helps them brown evenly on all sides.
- Bake on High Heat: A hot oven helps the fries develop crisp edges without frying.
- Serve Immediately: Sweet potato fries are best enjoyed hot, as they soften as they cool.
