Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Fries

  • 2 large Sweet potatoes sliced, approx. 260g
  • 1 tsp Seasoned salt or other salty seasoning mix
  • 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil for tossing

Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Dipping Sauce

  • 5 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

Sweet Potato Fries

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes and cut them lengthwise into fries.
  • Season and Toss: Place the fries in a large mixing bowl. Toss them with olive oil and seasoned salt until evenly coated.
  • Bake: Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are slightly crisp.

Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Dipping Sauce

  • Melt Butter: While the fries are baking, place a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
  • Make Sauce: Once the butter is melted, whisk in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and heavy cream. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  • Serve: Serve the dipping sauce warm with your crispy sweet potato fries.

Notes

  • Even Cooking: Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized fries to ensure they cook uniformly.
  • Crispier Fries: For extra crispy fries, consider flipping them halfway through the baking time.
  • Sauce Variations: You can adjust the sweetness or spice level of the dipping sauce by adding more or less brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.
