Ingredients

FRIES

  • 2 large sweet potatoes scrubbed well, skin-on, sliced into medium-sized wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (use tallow for Animal-Based)

SPICE BLEND

  • 1 tsp ground cumin (for AIP & Animal-Based, omit)
  • 1 tsp curry powder (for AIP, sub turmeric - omit for Animal-Based)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (for AIP, sub ½ tsp ground smoked tea - omit for Animal-Based)
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (for AIP, sub 1 tsp ginger powder - omit for Animal-Based)
  • ½ tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon

RANCH DIP

  • 1 cup plain coconut yogurt, additive-free (for coconut-free, sub mashed avocado)
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill, minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (omit for Animal-Based)
  • 1 ½ tsp onion powder (omit for Animal-Based)
  • Himalayan salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil and toss to coat.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the SPICE BLEND. Sprinkle spice mixture over the sweet potato wedges and toss until all wedges are lightly coated.

  4. Arrange the sweet potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. For crispier wedges, do not overcrowd and also do not salt them until they are done roasting.

  5. Place baking sheet in preheated oven and roast until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges, around 30-35 minutes. Flip once hallway through the cooking process to brown both sides.

  6. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, mix the RANCH DIP ingredients together in a small bowl, then place in the refrigerator to chill.

  7. Once browned, remove the sweet potato wedges from the oven and sprinkle generously with salt. Let cool slightly before serving with the herbed coconut yogurt dip. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

For even more flavor, mix up the ranch dip the night before to give the flavors more time to combine and develop.
