Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into long, even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil, paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Step 6
While the fries are baking, prepare the basil salt: In a food processor, blend the fresh basil leaves and sea salt until the mixture is fine and green. Set aside.
Step 7
Next, make the garlic mayonnaise: Finely mince or grate the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste. Chill until ready to serve.
Step 8
Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle generously with the basil salt while they are still warm.
Step 9
Serve the sweet potato fries immediately, alongside the garlic mayonnaise for dipping. Enjoy!
