Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel sweet potatoes before slicing them into thin fries. Aim for even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.

Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated, ensuring every fry is seasoned.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Make the Dipping Sauce: While the fries are baking, prepare your dipping sauce by mixing sour cream, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to your taste for extra zing.

Serve and Enjoy!: Once your sweet potato fries are out of the oven and slightly cooled, serve them hot alongside your delicious dipping sauce. Get ready for some serious munching!

With these simple steps and lots of love sprinkled in along the way, your sweet potato fries and dipping sauce will surely become family favorites! Enjoy every crispy bite with laughter echoing around you as you dip away!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by cutting sweet potatoes into uniform strips, then toss them in olive oil and seasonings. Bake at 425°F until crispy, flipping halfway for even cooking.
