Want to know the secret to making extra crispy sweet potato fries?
Here goes.
It’s all in the cooking time and amount of oil.
Bake those babies long and slow with not too much and not too little extra virgin olive oil.
Turn them halfway through to spread the crispness around to everyone.
And then watch them bake and turn into beautiful brown munchies.
Dipping these fries in some of that sauce never hurts either 😉

Naaaah, I’d rather just make a double (or triple) batch of these extra crispy garlic lime sweet potato fries. And eat them ALL BY MYSELF.
love that lime and garlic!
The loads of lime and garlic melting into these fries is unreal. The zesty pop from the lime is a beautiful compliment to the sweetness of the sweet potato and spice of garlic.
I was making these fries with my sister, and I kept asking her to taste test to see if they needed anything, her one answer- garlic, garlic, more garlic! Well, okay… but we want to taste the lime too. 🙂
This sauce!! Creamy herby white sauce… also known as my favorite homemade dairy free ranch dressing! I make this recipe for the fam quite frequently and it’s always a hit.
Plus, it’s the perfect side for dipping your crispy fries in. Since I’ve been making these fries on repeat (especially this week!!) a special sauce is definitely called for.
Okay, time to eat! Thanks for inviting my recipes into your kitchen today, let’s get cooking!
