Ingredients

For the Fries

  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 4 tsp cornstarch, if desired
  • non-stick cooking spray

For the Feta Dip

  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 pinch parsley

Instructions

For the Fries

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized matchsticks. Put them in a bowl full of ice water. Let them soak for 1 hour or up to overnight. After they are finished soaking, dry the potato pieces with a towel.

  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  3. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and spray with non-stick spray.

  4. Mix the sweet potato sticks in a large bowl with olive oil, seasonings, and cornstarch (if desired). Arrange the fries on the prepared pans in a single layer, so they are not touching.

  5. Set the timer for 15 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, flip over all fries with tongs so that both sides are evenly baked.

  6. Bake for another 10-15 minutes. When the fries are close to finishing, I prefer to turn my oven to "Broil" to get them one last crisp. Be careful to not leave them on broil for too long, or they will burn!

For the Feta Dipping Sauce:

  1. Add all ingredients for the dip except parsley into a high-speed blender and mix until the chunks of feta are smooth. Pour the sauce into a ramekin and sprinkle with parsley. Dip and enjoy!
