Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into fries
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce
- 1 green pepper
- 1 small avocado
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp up the fries nicely.
- Prepare and Bake Fries: On a cookie sheet, toss the cut sweet potatoes with taco seasoning and olive oil, making sure they’re evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer and bake for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through.
- Make the Sauce: While the fries are baking, combine the green pepper, avocado, lime juice, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper in a mini food processor. Pulse until you achieve your preferred consistency—chunky or smooth.
- Serve: Plate the hot sweet potato fries alongside the freshly made avocado cilantro dip and enjoy your flavorful snack.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the fries halfway through baking for even cooking.
- You can adjust the amount of taco seasoning to control spice levels.
- This dip can be used as a sauce for other roasted vegetables or as a spread for sandwiches.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor in the sauce.
