Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even-sized fries.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with cornstarch until evenly coated. Shake off any excess cornstarch.

Step 4

Drizzle the fries with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and toss to coat. Spread them out on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip the fries over and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the fries are baking, prepare the Thai-inspired seasoning. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder, and chili flakes.

Step 7

Once the fries are done baking, drizzle the Thai-inspired seasoning over the fries and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.

Step 8

To make the dipping sauce, whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, honey, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the fries to a serving plate and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
