1 tablespoonapple cider vinegar
1 teaspoonDijon mustard

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
3
Soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to maximize crispiness. Drain and pat dry.
4
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper if using. Make sure each fry is evenly coated.
5
Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid crowding the fries to ensure they bake evenly.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
7
While the fries are baking, prepare the dipping sauce by combining 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined.
8
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with the dipping sauce on the side.

Chef Tip

For maximum crispiness, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning them. This helps to remove excess starch and results in a crispier fry.
