Look no further, you have found an AWESOME dip that is a MUST try! Collar is popped, this wife and Momma gets a ten thumbs up, yeah Baby! I have been wanting to make this since I came across the recipe and chose to make it as an appetizer for the family to munch on.
Just pull out your phone or pencil and old-school shopping list because I’m going to start off with listing the ingredients and you WILL want to make this over the next few days. It’s OMNIVORE & KID APPROVED and I would imagine a great dip for veggies or shh, chips. (Oh come on, like you don’t crave them every so often… healthy or not!)
Ok, shopping list… are you ready? You will need:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut in large matchsticks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chile powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 cup vegan sour cream (I used Tofutti) (now for the dip)
- 1 -2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 -4 tsp sweet chili sauce (I liked it with more)
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 heaping tbsp chopped cilantro
I used the food processor to make the fries uniform in size which obviously helps with the cooking time and obviously, cuts back on prep time.
Southwestern Spiced Sweet Potato Fries
Preheat oven to 425. Toss potatoes and olive oil in a large bowl. Combine salt, cumin, chile powder, paprika, pepper and cayenne in a small ball and then add spices to potatoes and toss to coat. Arrange on baking sheet and back 12-15 minutes, then toss and bake for ten minutes. (The last ten minutes I put the convection oven on). Remove and dip away!
Chili-Cilantro Sour Cream
Combine everything but the cilantro in a bowl and whisk together, add cilantro and mix.
