- difficulty Easy level
Ingredients
- 1 orange sweet potato, scrubbed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornflour, semolina or cornmeal
- salt and pepper, to season
- ground spice (such as paprika, cayenne pepper, cinnamon or cumin), to flavour
Dipping sauce
- ¼ cup Greek-style yoghurt
- 1 tsp honey
- pinch of ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200˚C.
Slice the sweet potato into equal-size sticks (about 1 cm thick). Rinse in a bowl of water and lay out to dry.
Meanwhile, combine the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Place the sweet potato, olive oil, cornflour and spice, as desired, in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Lay the fries out on a baking tray in a single layer (I don’t bother and crisp and ends start to blacken).
Serve the fries with the dipping sauce.
