Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into even, thin strips (approximately 1/4 inch thick).

    Soak in Water: Place the sweet potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, allowing for crispier fries.

      Drain and Dry: After soaking, drain the sweet potatoes and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to dry thoroughly. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness.

        Season the Fries: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the dried sweet potato strips and toss well until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

          Bake: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows the heat to circulate and creates crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Prepare the Dipping Sauce: While the fries are baking, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.

              Serve: Once the fries are out of the oven, allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve hot alongside the creamy dipping sauce. Enjoy your Sweet & Crisp Delight!
