Servings: 4 servings
Cost: $4.00
Equipment
- Half Sheet Pan
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowls
- Oven-Safe Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet Potatoes (rinsed and thoroughly dried)
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 Tbsp Panko Japanese Style Breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp fresh Thyme Leaves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
Spicy Yogurt Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 tsp Sriracha (hot sauce, more or less to taste)
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and top with a cooling rack.
- Peel sweet potatoes if you prefer - I like to leave the peel on mine. Slice sweet potato lengthwise into thin (1/2-inch square or smaller) fries. In a small bowl combine parmesan, panko, thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
- In a plastic bag or large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with oil. Add parmesan mixture and toss until fries are evenly coated (don't worry if not all of the parmesan mixture sticks; just discard any leftover).
- Spread sweet potatoes in single layer on prepared cooling rack. Bake until sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning with a spatula halfway through, about 20 minutes.
- Whisk together all ingredients for Spicy Yogurt Dipping Sauce. Serve on the side.
