Baked Sweet Potato Fries With Chipotle Ranch Dressing image

Talk about livening up your sweet potato fries...I can't think of a more delicious way to eat them. Recipe courtesy of Confections of a Foodie Bride. I found there was a lot of sauce leftover for the next batch of sweet potato fries.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup mayonnaise (low fat is fine)
3/4 cup sour cream (low fat is fine or replace half with Greek yogurt)
2 -3 chipotle peppers (canned with 1 tbsp sauce)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 bunch chives
1 handful cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 c- 1/2 c buttermilk (optional)
3 -4 tablespoons coconut oil (any oil)
1 lb sweet potato (2 medium, no longer than 5 or 6 inches long)
1 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper

Steps:

  • To make dressing: Place all ingredients except the buttermilk in the blender. Blend for 10 seconds. Check consistency and blend in buttermilk (less buttermilk for dipping, more for dressing). Store in an air-tight jar in the fridge for a week or more.
  • To make the fries: Coat a baking sheet with 3 tablespoons of oil, adding the last tablespoon if necessary.
  • Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch sticks (no longer than 5 inches long).
  • In a large zipper bag mix the dry spices together. (I skipped the zipper bag and mixed everything in a large bowl). Add the sweet potato fries and shake the fries to coat evenly (I added a tad bit of oil to the fries in the bowl and the spices stuck nicely).
  • Carefully put the fries onto the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Turn on the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes, just until the tips of the fries begin to turn black. Don't walk away--they can burn in no time.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate in a single layer until ready to serve. (I also skipped the paper towel because they weren't greasy and I thought it was unnecessary. Plus they disappeared so fast that was a pointless step in my opinion.).
