Baked Sweet Potato Fries With Chipotle Ranch Dressing Food

SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH CHIPOTLE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place cut sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl, followed by the rest of the ingredients for the fries. Use your hands to toss everything together until well coated.
• Spread fries over 1 or 2 large baking sheets, giving the potato wedges plenty of room so that they bake evenly. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the fries half-way through, or until fries are golden brown and crispy.
• Remove tray from the oven and allow fries to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving with chipotle dipping sauce (instructions below)
• Add all ingredients for the chipotle dipping sauce to a small blender and blend until completely smooth. Use immediately or refrigerate in an air-tight container until ready to use. Sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 7 days.

• Arrange the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, leaving as much space between the fries as possible. Bake, turning once about three-quarters of the way through, until the edges are browned and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve the warm fries with the Ranch Dressing.
• Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, onion powder, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and hot sauce to a food processor. Pulse to combine until smooth.

BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH CHIPOTLE RANCH DRESSING

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.).
