Recently, I noticed a SHOCKING lack of side dish recipes here on the blog. I’m usually not much of a sides gal, instead opting for simple, one-pot meals most of the time. But when I do make a meal with sides, I’d prefer one to be these sweet potato fries.

These sweet-n-spicy babies are truly perfect. They’re tossed in cornstarch and spices to make them extra crispy and flavorful, then baked and served with a seriously good honey-chipotle mayo. If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise, I also love love LOVE these with some spicy honey mustard.

There are a few key moves to make your fries perfect. First, try to cut them uniformly. I find it easiest to cut my potato in half width-wise, then turn each half onto its flat end and cut it into 1/4-inch-thick planks. Then I lay those planks out and cut them into fries. It doesn’t take too long and it results in picture-perfect fry shapes.

Second, you gotta hit ’em with the cornstarch. Just a tablespoon of the stuff provides ample crispiness. And finally, try not to crowd them together on the tray. I had to use two baking sheets for this, because crowded fries = soggy fries. Not ideal.

But when you hit that crispy-spicy-salty-sweet balance? Sweet potato fry nirvana. These will definitely be your go-to side with basically every meal from now on. They’re certainly mine.

More seriously good sides:
Grilled Corn Salad (my favorite!)
Maple-Roasted Carrots with Maple-Tahini Glaze
Autumn Couscous Salad

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 35 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Category: Side Dish
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale

For the sweet potato fries:

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick batons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping, optional

For the honey-chipotle mayo:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fries: Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, olive oil, cornstarch, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine, making sure there are no dry bits of cornstarch remaining. Divide the sweet potato fries between the two baking sheets, spreading them out in an even layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the trays to make sure the fries crisp up.
  2. Bake the fries: Bake the fries for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to flip them over. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until crispy and browned.
  3. Make the honey-chipotle mayo: In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, chipotle chili powder, honey, salt, and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Serve: Let the fries cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving with the honey-chipotle mayo and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired.

Ya know when you open up a can of tomato paste jus Ya know when you open up a can of tomato paste just to scoop out one tablespoon? And then you've got a whole can of tomato paste sitting there and you're just like... wtf do I do with this 🙃🤷🏼‍♀️🍅 Well, let me introduce you to these Indian Butter Chickpeas. They're crazy-fast, super delicious, and have the added feature of using an ENTIRE can of tomato paste.

Best dinner ever. 👏🏼 [Indian Butter Chickpeas on feelinwhisky.com or linked in profile]

Really missing the farmers market right about now. Really missing the farmers market right about now. My weekly trips to the crowded, colorful marketplace are one of my favorite parts of summer. But at least I can still appreciate the beauty in the small things, like a bunch of asparagus fresh from the ground. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get back to my favorite place ☀️🧺🌾

My favorite part about summer? Cookouts. Most defi My favorite part about summer? Cookouts. Most definitely. Truly, is there anything better than standing barefoot in the grass, beer in hand, with good good smells wafting off the grill and a table filled with side dishes? 🥰🍻☀️ Pretty sure nothing can top that. This summer will undoubtedly look a little different. But I'll still be cooking like it's peak grilling season, and you best believe this Cucumber Orzo Pasta Salad will grace my table QUITE often 👏🏼 This super-simple side packs a whole lot of flavor with a shockingly short ingredients list.
