Baked Sweet Potato and Avocado Fries

Baked Sweet Potato and Avocado Fries are a healthy and delicious snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. For a sweeter fry, use a sweeter variety of sweet potato, such as the Garnet variety. For a spicier fry, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

The first time I had sweet potato fries was at a restaurant in New York City. I was immediately hooked on their crispy exterior and fluffy interior. I started experimenting with making sweet potato fries at home, and after a few tries, I came up with this recipe. I love this recipe because it is easy to make and the fries always turn out perfectly crispy. I also like that I can customize the fries to my liking. Sometimes I add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning for a little bit of heat. Other times I add a drizzle of honey to the fries after they come out of the oven for a touch of sweetness. No matter how I make them, these fries are always a hit with my family and friends.

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch fries
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with the avocado, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the sweet potato fries and avocado slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato fries are tender and the avocado is starting to brown.
5. Serve immediately.

Why It Works

• The high heat of the oven helps to create a crispy exterior on the fries.
• The olive oil helps to keep the fries from sticking to the baking sheet.
• The salt and pepper add flavor to the fries.
• The avocado slices add a creamy texture and rich flavor to the fries.
