Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on for added nutrients, and cut them into even, thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, without overcrowding.
Step 5
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the fries are baking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and dried oregano. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 8
Serve the Mediterranean fries warm, garnished with freshly chopped dill, alongside the cheese sauce for dipping.
